1. **Problem statement:** Express the function $x \mapsto x + 10$ in terms of the given functions $h$ and/or $k$.
2. **Given functions:**
- $h(x) = x + 5$ for $x \in \mathbb{R}, x > 0$
- $k(x) = \sqrt{x}$ for $x \in \mathbb{R}, x > 0$
3. **Goal:** Write $f(x) = x + 10$ using $h$ and/or $k$.
4. **Step:** Notice that $h(x) = x + 5$, so if we apply $h$ to $x + 5$, we get:
$$h(x + 5) = (x + 5) + 5 = x + 10$$
5. **Expressing $x + 5$ in terms of $h$:**
Since $h(x) = x + 5$, then $x = h(x) - 5$.
6. **Substitute $x + 5$ as $h(x)$:**
$$h(x + 5) = h(h(x))$$
because $h(x) = x + 5$, so $x + 5 = h(x)$.
7. **Therefore:**
$$f(x) = x + 10 = h(h(x))$$
**Final answer:**
$$x \mapsto h(h(x))$$
This means applying $h$ twice to $x$ gives $x + 10$.
