Answer

a. $(f\circ g)(x)=x$ b. $(g\circ f)(x)=x$ c. $(f \circ g)(3)=3$ d. $(f \circ h)(x)=\log_{2} 4x$ e. $(f\circ h)(8)=5$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=\log_{2} x, g(x)=2^x, h(x)=4x$ a. $(f\circ g)(x)=\log_{2} {2^x}=x\log_{2} 2=x,$ Domain of $(f\circ g) (x)$ is that $x\in\mathbb{R}$ b.$(g\circ f)(x)=2^{\log_{2} x}=x$ Domain of $(g\circ f )(x)$ is that $x>0$ c. $(f \circ g)(3)=3,$ d. $(f \circ h )(x)=\log_{2} 4x$ Domain of $(f\circ h)(x)$ is that $x>0$ e. $(f\circ h)(8)=\log_{2} {32}=\log_{2} 2^5=5$
