Lesson
1 Operation on Functions
Operations on functions are similar to operations on numbers. Adding, subtracting and multiplying
two or more functions together will result in another function. Dividing two functions together will also result
in another function if the denominator or divisor is not the zero function. Lastly, composing two or more
functions will also produce another function.

The illustrations below might help you to better understand the concepts on function operations. In the illustrations,
the numbers above are the inputs which are all 3 while below the function machine are the outputs.
The first two functions are the functions to be added, subtracted, multiplied and divided while the rightmost function is
the resulting function.
Addition

Compositions of Functions
Composition of function is putting a function inside another function. See below figure for illustration.
