**Problem 9: Composition of Functions**

Find the composition \( f \circ g \) for the given pairs of real functions \( f \) and \( g \).

**(a)** 
- \( f(x) = 3x + 1 \)
- \( g(x) = x^2 + 1 \) 

**(b)**
- \( f(x) = x(x - 2) \)
- \( g(x) = (x + 1)/4 \)

**Instructions:**

To find the composition \( f \circ g \), substitute the expression for \( g(x) \) into the function \( f(x) \).

**Example Calculation:**
For part (a), compute \( f(g(x)) \) as follows:

1. Identify \( g(x) = x^2 + 1 \).
2. Substitute \( x^2 + 1 \) into \( f(x)\):
   \[
   f(g(x)) = f(x^2 + 1) = 3(x^2 + 1) + 1 = 3x^2 + 3 + 1 = 3x^2 + 4
   \]

Perform similar steps for part (b).
