Write a Racket function "combine" that takes two functions, f and g, as parameters and evaluates to a new function. Both f and g will be functions that take one parameter and evaluate to some result. The returned function should be the composition of the two functions with f applied first and g applied to f's result. For example (combine add1 sub1) should evaluate to a function equivalent to (define (h x) (sub1 (add1 x))). You will need to use...
