Solution Steps

Step 1: Find \(f \circ f\)

Substitute \(f(x) = 7/(2_x)\) into itself in place of \(x\): \(f(f(x)) = 7/(2_(7/(2*x)))\) Simplify the expression: \(f \circ f = x\)

Step 2: Find \(g \circ g\)

Substitute \(g(x) = 6_x-9\) into itself in place of \(x\): \(g(g(x)) = 6_(6_x-9)-9\) Simplify the expression: \(g \circ g = 36_x - 63\)

Final Answer:

The composition \(f \circ f\) simplified is: \(f \circ f = x\) The composition \(g \circ g\) simplified is: \(g \circ g = 36*x - 63\)
