Composite Functions
Definition
Composite functions are formed by combining two or more functions, where the output of one function becomes the input of another. It's like putting one function inside another to create a new function.
Analogy
Think of composite functions as baking a cake. You have different ingredients (functions) that you mix together in a specific order to create a delicious final product (composite function).
