Visualizing Functions as a Mapping Diagram
- Author:

Here we look at a function as a mapping diagram. The inputs to the function g are along the real number line a the top, the outputs of are on the real number line in the middle. The green point gets mapped to the blue point by the rule .
Drag the point to see how the output changes.
Click the "composition of two functions" button to see the mapping diagram for the composition of two functions.
You may change the functions by using the input line at the bottom of the applet. For example to change the function to you would type:
g(x)=cos(x)+exp(x)
