For the two functions f(x)=x2+5x, g(x)=x+22,f(x)=x^2+5x, \, g(x)=x+22, what is the value of (g∘f)(9)?(g \circ f)(9)?

Details and assumptions

(g∘f)(x) (g \circ f)(x) is the composition of gg and ff, defined by (g∘f)(x)=g(f(x))(g \circ f)(x)= g(f(x)).

Consider the two functions f(x)=6x−5,g(x)={−x+4 if x≥1,17 if x<1.f(x)=6x-5, g(x)=\begin{cases} -x+4 & \text{ if } x \geq 1, \\ 17 & \text{ if } x<1. \end{cases} What is the value of (f∘g)(2)+(g∘f)(0)(f \circ g)(2)+(g \circ f)(0)?

Details and assumptions

(g∘f)(x) (g \circ f)(x) is the composition of gg and ff, defined by (g∘f)(x)=g(f(x))(g \circ f)(x)= g(f(x)).
