i'll take a guess that the answer will be f(x) = |x|

let's see if that works.

f(x) = |x|
g(x) = -11x-6

f(g(x) is then equal to f(-11x-6) which is equal to |-11x-6|.

since h(x) = f(g(x)), then h(x) = |-11x-6|

f(x) = |x| appears to be the best and most natural choice for f(x).

i don't know if that's the answer they're looking for but i can't think of any way to make this problem any simpler than that.
