Composition of Functions Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to solve compositions of functions, specifically F of G of X and G of F of X. It begins with an introduction to the concept and a review of function notation. The instructor provides examples to demonstrate how to evaluate functions with specific inputs. The tutorial then delves into understanding G of F of X and F of G of X, explaining the process of plugging one function into another and solving the resulting expressions. The key takeaway is to understand the notation and the process of input-output evaluation in function compositions.
