    To find {eq}f(g(x)){/eq}, we substitute {eq}g(x){/eq} into {eq}f(x){/eq} and simplify: {eq}begin{align*} f(g(x)) &= f(sqrt{x+2}) \ &= (sqrt{x+2})^2 + 9 \ &= x+11 end{align*}{/eq} Therefore, {eq}f(g(x))=x+11.{/eq} To find {eq}g(f(x)){/eq}, we substitute {eq}f(x){/eq} into {eq}g(x){/eq} and simplify: {eq}begin{align*} g(f(x)) &= sqrt{f(x)+2} \ &= sqrt{(x^2+9)+2} \ &= sqrt{x^2+11} end{align*}{/eq} Therefore, {eq}g(f(x))=sqrt{x^2+11}.{/eq}
