F%28x%29+=+sec%28sqrt%28x%29%29

There are two functions involved here:

1. taking the secant
2. taking the square root

Ihe innermost function is taking the square root,
and the outermost function is taking the secant.
so g%28x%29+=+sqrt%28x%29 and h%28x%29=sec%28x%29

F%28x%29=f%28g%28x%29%29=fog%28x%29 where 

f%28x%29=+sec%28x%29, the "outermost" function
g%28x%29=+sqrt%28x%29, the "innermost" function
