Answer

The function $f\left( x \right)={{\left( x \right)}^{9}}$ and $g\left( x \right)={{x}^{2}}-3x+7$.

Work Step by Step

Take ${{x}^{2}}-3x+7$ as $g\left( x \right)$ from the function $h\left( x \right)={{\left( {{x}^{2}}-3x+7 \right)}^{9}}$ and consider ${{x}^{2}}-3x+7$ as x for the another function $f\left( x \right)$. So, the functions are $f\left( x \right)={{\left( x \right)}^{9}}$ and $g\left( x \right)={{x}^{2}}-3x+7$ . Check by composition of function $f\left( x \right)$ and $g\left( x \right)$ to find $\left( f\circ g \right)\left( x \right)$. This should give the original function, $h\left( x \right)={{\left( {{x}^{2}}-3x+7 \right)}^{9}}$ $\begin{align} & \left( f\circ g \right)\left( x \right)=f\left( g\left( x \right) \right) \\ & =f\left( {{x}^{2}}-3x+7 \right) \\ & ={{\left( {{x}^{2}}-3x+7 \right)}^{9}} \end{align}$ Since, $\left( f\circ g \right)\left( x \right)=h\left( x \right)$ Hence, the functions are $f\left( x \right)={{\left( x \right)}^{9}}$ and $g\left( x \right)={{x}^{2}}-3x+7$.
