### Function Composition Evaluation

Suppose that the functions \( u \) and \( w \) are defined as follows:

\[ u(x) = \frac{x^2 + 9}{9} \]
\[ w(x) = \sqrt{x + 8} \]

Find the following compositions:

\[
\left( w \circ u \right) (8) = \quad \boxed{}
\]

\[
\left( u \circ w \right) (8) = \quad \boxed{}
\]

### Steps for Solving Composition of Functions

1. **Finding \( ( w \circ u )(8) \)**
   - First, evaluate \( u(8) \).
   - Then, use the result from \( u(8) \) as the input for \( w \).

2. **Finding \( ( u \circ w )(8) \)**
   - First, evaluate \( w(8) \).
   - Then, use the result from \( w(8) \) as the input for \( u \).
