Composition of Functions
In 2.7A we evaluated compositions one number at a time: first the inside value, then the outside function. That works, but if you need for many inputs, it is better to build one formula that does both steps at once. This note builds those formulas, finds where they are defined, and runs the process in reverse by breaking a complicated function into simpler pieces.
