Expert Solution
Step 1

Concept:

Composition of function:

A function is composed when two functions, f and g, are used to create a new function, h, such thath(x) = g(f(x)). The function of g is being applied to the function of x, in this case. Therefore, a function is essentially applied to the output of another function.
