Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Composite Functions
A composite function is formed when one function is applied to the result of another function. It is denoted as (f ∘ g)(x), meaning f(g(x)). To evaluate a composite function, you first find the output of g for a given input, and then use that output as the input for f.

Function Evaluation from Graphs
Evaluating functions from graphs involves determining the output value of a function for a specific input by locating the input on the x-axis and finding the corresponding output on the y-axis. This process is essential for understanding how functions behave visually and for calculating composite functions using their graphical representations.

Interpreting Graphs of Functions
Interpreting graphs of functions requires understanding the relationship between the x and y coordinates represented in the graph. Each point on the graph corresponds to an input-output pair, allowing for visual analysis of function properties such as continuity, increasing/decreasing behavior, and intercepts, which are crucial for evaluating composite functions.
