A composite function is a function that is formed by combining two or more functions. The output of one function becomes the input of another function, and this process is repeated until the final output is obtained.
For example, let's say we have two functions f(x) and g(x). The composite function f(g(x)) is formed by plugging the entire g(x) function as the input of f(x). In other words, we first evaluate g(x) and then use the result as the input for f(x).
To evaluate a composite function, we start with the innermost function and work our way outwards. In the above example, we would first evaluate g(x), and then use the result as the input for f(x).
Composite functions are often used in mathematics and computer science to model complex processes or to simplify calculations.
