Ok, so

Given:


\begin{gathered} f(x)=\sqrt[]{x}-6 \\ g(x)=x^2+5 \end{gathered}

We want to find (fog)(x) and (gof)(x).

First, let's find (fog)(x).

This is:


(fog)(x)=f(g(x))=f(x^2+5)

So we're going to evaluate f in (x2 + 5).


f(x^2+5)=\sqrt[]{x^2+5}-6

Now, let's find (gof)(x). This is:


(gof)(x)=g(f(x))=g(\sqrt[]{x}-6)_{}

So we're going to evaluate g in the function f.


g(\sqrt[]{x}-6)=(\sqrt[]{x}-6)^2+5
