We compose the 2 given functions in this
            way:
(fog)(x) = f(g(x))
We
            notice that the variable x was replaced by the function g(x). According to this, we'll
            write the function f(g(x)) by substituting x by g(x) in the  original expression of
            f(x):
f(g(x)) = [g(x)]^2 +
            5
f(g(x)) = (sqrt 2x)^2 +
            5
(fog)(x) = f(g(x)) = 2x +
            5
Now, we'll compose gof and we'll
            get:
(gof)(x) = g(f(x))
We
            notice that the variable x was replaced by the function f(x). According to this, we'll
            write the function g(f(x)) by substituting x by f(x) in the  original expression of
            g(x):
g(f(x)) = sqrt
            2f(x)
(gof)(x) = g(f(x)) = sqrt
            2(x^2+5)
As we can remark, the result of the
            2 compositions is not the same!
