Example: f(x) = 2x+3 and g(x) = x2
"x" is just a placeholder. To avoid confusion let's just call it "input":
f(input) = 2(input)+3
g(input) = (input)2
Let's start:
(g º f)(x) = g(f(x))
First we apply f, then apply g to that result:
Function Composition
- (g º f)(x) = (2x+3)2
What if we reverse the order of f and g?
(f º g)(x) = f(g(x))
First we apply g, then apply f to that result:
Function Composition
- (f º g)(x) = 2x2+3
We get a different result! When we reverse the order the result is rarely the same. So be careful which function comes first.

Answer:
The interest rate is 20%.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to calculate the interest rate, we need to compute how many percents the value he recieves is related to the total he invested. In this case he recieves 40 every year and he invested 200, to calculate that we will apply a rule of three. We have:
$200 -> 100%
$40 -> x%
200/40 = 100/x
200*x = 40*100
200*x = 4000
x = 4000/200 = 20
The interest rate is 20%.
1. make an equation
4x+7(20) = 5(x+20)
2. multiply the numbers and distribute 5 through the parenthesis
4x+140 = 5x+100
3. move variables to the left side and change its sign and move constant to the right side and change its sign
4x-5x = 100-140
4. collect the like terms and calculate the difference
-x = -40
5. change the signs on both sides of the equation
x = 40

hope this helped!
