The definition


f(x)=6

means that f always outputs 6, no matter the input. So, if you want to compute the composition


(f\circ g)(x)

It means that you want to compute f giving as input the result of g(x):


(f\circ g)(x) = f(g(x))

But no matter the input:
f(\cdot) is always 6! So, we have


(f\circ g)(x) = f(g(x)) = 6

for every possible x.
