Final Answer: $(f \circ f)(1)=\boxed{1}$

Steps

Step 1 :Given $f(x)=|x|$ and $g(x)=\frac{5}{x^{2}+1}$, find the following expressions.

Step 2 :For (a) $(f \circ g)(4)$, we substitute 4 into $g(x)$ and then the result into $f(x)$, which gives us a result of $\frac{5}{17}$.

Step 3 :For (b) $(g \circ f)(2)$, we substitute 2 into $f(x)$ and then the result into $g(x)$, which gives us a result of 1.

Step 4 :For (c) $(f \circ f)(1)$, we substitute 1 into $f(x)$ and then the result back into $f(x)$, which gives us a result of 1.

Step 5 :Final Answer: $(f \circ f)(1)=\boxed{1}$
