Answer
a. $(f o g)(x) = x^{2}$
b. $(fog)$ is discontinuous at $x = 0$.
Work Step by Step
$(f o g)(x) = f(g(x)) = \frac{1}{g(x)} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{x^{2}}} = x^{2}$
$f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are discontinuous at $x = 0$ because $f(0)$ and $g(0)$ are undefined.
This could be explained by using the 9th theorem given in this section which says: "If $g$ is continuous at $g(a)$ , then the composite function $fog$ given by $(fog)(x) = f(g(x))$ is continuous at $a$.
