Operations on Functions

Performing operations on functions involves utilizing mathematical procedures like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and composition on single or multiple functions. The outcome of these operations is the creation of new functions, which are instrumental in cracking intricate mathematical challenges and in the modeling of situations in the real world.
