Except for the very first one you posted, these are all pretty much the same.

The very first one had f ( g(x) )
You had to take a function of a function.

The rest of these seem to be simple additions, subtractions, multiplications, or divisions.

Here just add f(x) to g(x) to get (f+g)(x)
oo duh. lol thank you!
Perhaps this might help
Say f(x) = x^2 and g(x)=x^3
then
f(x)g(x) = x^(2+3) = x^5
BUT
f(g(x)) = (x^3)^2 = x^6
