Answer

The domain of $(f \circ g) (x)$ is $(\mathbb R-\{0\}$ The domain of $(g \circ f)(x)$ is $(0,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $f(x)=\log x$ $g(x)=x^2$ $(f \circ g) (x)=f(g(x))=\log x^2$ $(g \circ f)(x)=g(f(x))=(\log x)^2$ The domain of $(f \circ g) (x)$ is $(\mathbb R -\{0\}$ and the domain of $(g \circ f)(x)$ is $(0,\infty)$
