You can put this solution on YOUR website! . For f(x)=9x and g(x)=x+9, find the following functions:
 A. (fog)(x)=
 B. (gof)(x)=
 C. (fog)(3)=
 D. (gof)(3)=
 ------------------------------------------------
 
 
A. (fog)(x) = 9*(x+9) = 9x + 9.
   How it is obtained?
   Take f(x) = 9x and then substitute g(x) = x+9 instead of x into f(x).
B. (gof)(x) = 9*(x+9) = 9x + 9.
   How it is obtained?
   Take g(x) = x+9 and then substitute f(x) = 9x instead of x into g(x).   
The resulting functions are identical in these cases.
This is OK.
C. and D.  <----->  I will not calculate the values for you.
                    You can do it yourself.
                    Surely, the resulting numbers should be the same for C and D, because 
                      the resulting functions are the same for A and B.
Good luck!
