Answer

$f[g(x)]=\sqrt{\dfrac{x-1}{x}}$ $g[f(x)]=\displaystyle \frac{-1}{\sqrt{x+1}}$

Work Step by Step

In the expression for f(x), replace x with g(x) $f[g(x)]=\sqrt{g(x)+1}$ $=\sqrt{\dfrac{-1}{x}+1}$ $=\sqrt{\dfrac{x-1}{x}}$ In the expression for g(x), replace x with f(x) $g[f(x)]=\displaystyle \frac{-1}{f(x)}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{-1}{\sqrt{x+1}}$
