Question: Compose two functions and plot

Forgive me for not using the "Maple Math" and "Maple Plot" commands.  I tried, but it says everything that I enter is an invalid expression so I'm just entering it as text...

I define two functions, they plot as expected:

 

f(x) := sin(x);

g(x) := 2*x;

plot( f(x) );

plot( g(x) );

 

Now I want to plot the composition:

 

plot( f(g(x)) ); 

 

Doesn't work!

 

Hmm, maybe try using the compose function?

 

plot(  (f@g)(x) );

 

Nope, still doesn't work.

 

But other functions can be composed.  For example,

 

plot( sin(cos(x)) );

plot(  (sin@cos)(x) );

 

Those work...

plot(  2*sin(x) );

 

That works, but

 

plot (  g(sin(x)) );

 

does not work even though its identical.  Still,

 

plot( sin(x*2) );

 

Does not work!

 

So my question is given two functions f(x) and g(x), how can I plot the composition?
