A
mathematical concept stating that a composite
function is a
function composed of two or more smaller simpler
functions.
Consider: c(x) = (sin(x+5))3
This function can be broken down into several other elementary functions:
f(x) = x3
g(x) = sin(x)
h(x) = x + 5
So c(x) can be expressed as f(g(h(x)))
To find derivatives of composition functions you can use the chain rule.
