The operation on composition of function involves substituting a function into another


function.
Definition of Composite Function
Given two functions f(x) and g(x), the composite function denoted by is
defined by

and the domain of is the set of all numbers x in the domain of , such that
is the domain of .

 f is the outer function and g is the inner function.


Similarly, we define as follows:

 g is the outer function and f is the inner function.


Study the following examples.
