Instructions:

You will be shown a composite function F(x) = f(g(x)).
This can also be written as F(x) = f(u) where u = g(x).
You are to determine the inner function g(x) and the outer function f(u).
There may be more than one correct answer, but there is usually a "best" answer.
If you have trouble, scroll to the bottom to see the composition of your functions or to see the answer.
