20 POINTS please explain well

The difference of course is the symbol between the f and g letters.

The circle notation means we're doing a function composition.

Writing is the same as saying where g is the inner function.

Here's an example

f(x) = x^2

g(x) = 3x

f( g(x) ) = ( g(x) )^2 ... note how x is replaced with g(x)

f( g(x) ) = ( 3x )^2

f( g(x) ) = 9x^2

-------------------

On the other hand, the dot notation means we multiply the f(x) and g(x) functions.

Going back to the previous example, we could say

the two may have that, even a breakdown is probably offered

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
