Function Evaluations and Operations

The video tutorial discusses the composition of functions, focusing on solving specific problems involving function compositions like g(f(-2)), f(g(-2)), and g(h(f(3))). The instructor provides step-by-step solutions, emphasizing the order of operations and the irrelevance of brackets in certain cases. The video concludes with a summary and a preview of the next topic.
