Q 
how do you decompose a composite function?
decompose h(x)=1/(x-2)^2
A

first find the simplified function (this is your f(x)), then think, what do i plug in (g(x)), to get what I have now?
f(x)=1/x^2 g(x)=x-2
***Note that the ^2 is outside of the parentheses. This is why you cannot have f(x)=1/x and g(x)=x-2^2–> you could have g(x)=(x-2)^2

lines equation given a lot of points- hit stat, edit, enter x values in L1 and y values in L2, make sure you have the same number of data entries, hit stat again, calc, LinReg, make sure Xlist says L1 and Ylist says L2, calculate

this will give you your equation!!!
