The answers are $f(g(x))=g(g(x))=(x^2+x)(x^2+x+1)$

This is a compositio of functions

$f(x)=x^2+x$

$g(x)=x^2+x$

$f(g(x))=f(x^2+x)=(x^2+x)^2+(x^2+x)$

$=(x^2+x)(x^2+x+1)$

$g(g(x))=g(x^2+x)=(x^2+x)^2+(x^2+x)$

$=(x^2+x)(x^2+x+1)$

How do you determine f(g(x))f(g(x)) and g(g(x))g(g(x)), given f(x)=x^2+xf(x)=x^2+x and g(x)=x^2+xg(x)=x^2+x?
