Given the functions
f(x)=1/(x+6) ; g(x)=x/(2-x)
a.(f ∘ g)(-2) = f[g(-2)] = f[1/2] = 2/13
----------------------------------
b.(g ∘ f)(-2) = g[f(-2)] = g[1/4] = 7/4
----------------------------------
c.(f ∘ g)(x) = f[g(x)] = f[x/(2-x)] = 1/[x/(2-x) + 6] = x/(x+12-6x) = x/(12-5x)
----------------------------------
etc...
Cheers,
Stan H.
