if f(x) = x^2-4x+5
and g(x)=x-2
find (fg)(x)
-----
(f*g)(x) is the product of f(x) and g(x)
= x^3-2x^2-4x^2 +5x-2x -10
= x^3-6x^2+3x-10
===============
fog(x) is the composition of f and g.
------------
fog(x) = f[g(x)] = f[x-2] = (x-2)^2 - 4(x-2) + 5
= x^2 -4x+4 -4x+8 + 5
= x^2 -8x + 17
===================
