Understanding Function Composition

This video tutorial by Deni Handayani on the Metland channel is the second part of a series on composition functions. It begins with a recap of the first video and introduces the concept of composition functions using an analogy of machines processing wood into paper. The tutorial explains the notation and substitution process in composition functions, followed by detailed examples to illustrate the concept. The video concludes with a discussion on the properties of composition functions, including their non-commutative nature and associative properties. Viewers are encouraged to try practice problems and watch the next video for more complex examples.

What is the main topic discussed in the second video of the series?

• Trigonometric functions

• Calculus basics

• Algebraic operations

• Function composition
