Answer

$G(x)=f\circ g(x)$ for $g(x)=\displaystyle \frac{x}{1+x},\qquad f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}$

Work Step by Step

$f\circ g(x)=f[g(x)]$ Rule of thumb: Ask yourself what would be the last operation if we used a calculator, step by step? (Answer: If R was the current result, we would calculate $\sqrt[3]{R}$) $f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}$ $G(x)=f(\displaystyle \frac{x}{1+x})$ So, if $g(x)=\displaystyle \frac{x}{1+x}$ and $f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}$, then $G(x)=f\circ g(x)$
