Answer

$f \circ g, g \circ f, f \circ f, g \circ g$: for all $D_{f\circ f}=\{x|x \in \mathbb{R} \}$,

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=x^3+2$, $D_f=\{x|x \in \mathbb{R}\}$ $g(x)=\sqrt[3] x$, $D_g=\{x|x \in \mathbb{R} \}$, $f(g(x))=(\sqrt[3] x)^3+2=x+2$ $D_{f\circ g}=\{x|x \in \mathbb{R} \}$ $g(f(x))=\sqrt[3] {x^3+2}$ $D_{g\circ f}=\{x|x \in \mathbb{R} \}$, $f(f(x))=(x^3+2)^3+2$ $D_{f\circ f}=\{x|x \in \mathbb{R} \}$, $g(g(x))=\sqrt[3] {\sqrt[3] x}=\sqrt[9] x$ $D_{g\circ g}=\{x|x \in \mathbb{R}\}$
