Integral Composition

Integral composition involves combining two functions through integration, essentially analyzing how one function transforms when applied within another. For example, if you have a function that calculates a rate (like speed) and another that accumulates that rate over time, integrating the first function with respect to the second quantifies the total accumulated change. It’s a way to evaluate complex relationships by nesting functions within integrals, allowing us to understand the overall effect or total of a process that depends on multiple layered functions. This concept is fundamental in calculus for solving problems involving varying rates and accumulated quantities.
