This topic covers skills related to identifying the role of functions within composite functions. It specifically focuses on whether given functions act as inputs or outputs in the context of composition. The problems ask students to distinguish between input and output functions given certain composite expressions, enhancing their understanding of function hierarchies in mathematical operations. This is part of an introduction to function composition and inversion.
