Answer
\( fg \) and \( gf \) are both undefined because \( f(x) \) is undefined.

To find \( fg \) and \( gf \), we need to understand the compositions of the functions.
Given:
\( f(z) = \frac{1}{z - 2} \)
For \( g(x) = 6x + 1 \), we need to express \( fg \) and \( gf \):
(ii) For \( fg(x) \):
First, we substitute \( g(x) \) into \( f(z) \):
\[
fg(x) = f(g(x)) = f(6x + 1) = \frac{1}{(6x + 1) - 2} = \frac{1}{6x - 1}
\]
(iii) For \( gf(x) \):
Next, substitute \( f(z) \) into \( g(x) \):
\[
gf(z) = g(f(z)) = g\left(\frac{1}{z - 2}\right) = 6\left(\frac{1}{z - 2}\right) + 1 = \frac{6}{z - 2} + 1 = \frac{6 + (z - 2)}{z - 2} = \frac{z + 4}{z - 2}
\]
Thus, the results are:
\[
fg(x) = \frac{1}{6x - 1} \quad \text{and} \quad gf(z) = \frac{z + 4}{z - 2}
\]
