Answer

$\color{blue}{\bf{ (a) \sqrt{2x-2} ; [1,\infty) }}$ $\color{blue}{\bf{ (b) 2 \sqrt{x-2} ; [2,\infty) }}$

Work Step by Step

We are given the two functions $\bf{f}$ and $\bf{g}$ $\bf{f(x) = \sqrt{x-2} }$ and $\bf{g(x) = 2x }$ $\bf(a)$We are asked to find $\bf{ ( f \text{ }\omicron\text{ g} )( x ) }$ and its domain. ${ ( f \text{ }\omicron\text{ g} )( x ) }= \sqrt{2x-2} $ $\color{blue}{\bf{ \sqrt{2x-2} }}$ $2x-2\geq0$ or $ \sqrt{2x-2} $ would be imaginary $2x\geq2$ $x\geq1$ $\color{blue}{\bf{ [1,\infty) }}$ $\bf(b)$We are asked to find $\bf{ ( g \text{ }\omicron\text{ f} )( x ) }$ and its domain. ${ ( g \text{ }\omicron\text{ f} )( x ) }= 2 \sqrt{x-2} $ $\color{blue}{\bf{ 2 \sqrt{x-2} }}$ $x-2\geq0$ or $ \sqrt{x-2} $ would be imaginary $x\geq2$ $\color{blue}{\bf{ [2,\infty) }}$
