Answer

a. $(f\circ g)(x)=x$ b. $(g\circ f)(x)=x$ c. $(f \circ g)(5)=5$ d. $(f \circ h)(x)=2\ln x$ e. $(f\circ h)(e)=2$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=\ln x, g(x)=e^x, h(x)=x^2$ a. $(f\circ g)(x)=\ln {e^x}=x\ln e=x,$ Domain of $(f\circ g )(x)$ is that $x>0$ b. $(g\circ f)(x)=e^{\ln x}=x$ Domain of $(g\circ f )(x)$ is that $x>0$ c. $(f \circ g)(5)=5$ d. $(f \circ h )(x)=\ln x^2=2\ln x$ Domain of $(f\circ h)(x)$ is that $x>0$ e. $(f\circ h)(e)=2$
