1.1Functions
Learning outcomes covered:
It is relatively easy to determine whether an equation is a function by solving for y. When you are given an
equation and a specific value for x, there should only be one corresponding y-value for that x-value.

1.2 Composition of Functions
Performing algebraic operations on functions combines them into a new function,
but we can also create functions by composing functions. When we wanted to
compute a heating cost from a day of the year, we created a new function that
takes a day as input and yields a cost as output. The process of combining functions
so that the output of one function becomes the input of another is known as a
composition of functions. The resulting function is known as a composite function.
We represent this combination by the following notation:
(f o g) (x) = f (g (x))
Composition is a binary operation that takes two functions and forms a new
function
In general, and are different functions. In other words, in many cases f (g (x)) g (f
(x)) for all x. We will also see that sometimes two functions can be composed only
in one specific order
Evaluate the composite value :
