Answer

So, (gg)(0)=7.5.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we find g(4)=51242=58=3.

Step 2 :Then, we find f(3)=3(3)22=392=272=25.

Step 3 :So, (fg)(4)=25.

Step 4 :First, we find f(2)=3222=342=122=10.

Step 5 :Then, we find g(10)=512102=550=45.

Step 6 :So, (gf)(2)=45.

Step 7 :First, we find f(1)=3122=32=1.

Step 8 :Then, we find f(1)=3122=32=1.

Step 9 :So, (ff)(1)=1.

Step 10 :First, we find g(0)=51202=5.

Step 11 :Then, we find g(5)=51252=512.5=7.5.

Step 12 :So, (gg)(0)=7.5.
