        Noticing that the expression <m><eval obj="innerFormula" /></m> appears inside parentheses with a power,
        it makes sense to think of that as the inner function,
        defining <m>g(x) = <eval obj="innerFormula" /></m>.
        The outer function describes what happens to that.
        If we imagined replacing the formula <m><eval obj="innerFormula" /></m> with a box and then call that box our variable <m>x</m>,
        we find the outer function is given by <m>f(x) = <eval obj="outerFormula" /></m>.
