Answer

$a.\qquad\sqrt{13}$ $b.\qquad 3\sqrt{3}$ $c.\qquad\sqrt{\sqrt{2}+1}$ $d.\qquad 0$

Work Step by Step

$a.$ $(f\circ g)(4)=f[g(4)]$ $g(4)=3(4)=12$ $f[g(4)]=f(12)=\sqrt{12+1}=\sqrt{13}$ $b.$ $(g\circ f)(2)=g[f(2)] $ $f(2)=\sqrt{2+1}=\sqrt{3}$ $g[f(2)] =g(\sqrt{3})=3\sqrt{3}$ $c.$ $(f\circ f)(1) =f[f(1)]$ $f(1)=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt{2}$ $f[f(1)]=f(\sqrt{2})=\sqrt{\sqrt{2}+1}$ $d.$ $(g\circ g)(0)=g[g(0)]$ $g(0) =3(0) =0$ $g[g(0)]=g(0)=0$
