A composition symbol is a Latin word always written as ‘∘.’ In the mathematical term, a composition symbol is written as A ∘ B(x) = A(B(x)). This symbol shows the composition of the two functions.
On LaTeX, there is a specific method to write and use the composition symbol. However, many users do not know this feature or method in LaTeX. Therefore, if you are one of them, you should follow this tutorial. We will explain how to write and use the composition symbol in LaTeX.
How to Write and Use a Composition Symbol in LaTeX
While preparing any document, you can easily use the composition symbol in LaTeX to explain the relationship between two values. There is a simple command to display this
As an example, let’s take two functions in which value is taken as A and B. Here, you can use the composition symbol to define the relationship between both values. Through the below source code, you can use and write the composition symbol in LaTeX:
Source Code:
\begin{document}
$ (A \circ B)(x)g$
\end{document}
Output
Now, you can compile the above source code and the document processor will change this code into a composition symbol. After compiling your document, you will get the following result:
The output (A ◦ B)(x)g stands as either A and B can be correct, or both can be true. You can also use different values instead of A and B to get the answer as per the requirement.
Conclusion
We have written this tutorial to briefly explain the source code to write and use the composition symbol in LaTeX. It is one of the easiest symbols you can easily use in LaTeX. Many people use the O alphabet to represent this symbol instead of this ‘◦,’ but we don’t recommend you use it as this can reduce the authenticity.
