Answer

(a) $ -2x+4$, domain $(-\infty,\infty)$ (b) $ -2x-4$, domain $(-\infty,\infty)$ (c) $ x$, domain $(-\infty,\infty)$ (d) $ 4x-12$, domain $(-\infty,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

Given $f(x)=-x;\ g(x)=2x-4$, we have: (a) $f\circ g=-(2x-4)=-2x+4$, domain $(-\infty,\infty)$ (b) $g\circ g=2(-x)-4=-2x-4$, domain $(-\infty,\infty)$ (c) $f\circ f=-(-x)=x$, domain $(-\infty,\infty)$ (d) $g\circ g=2(2x-4)-4=4x-12$, domain $(-\infty,\infty)$
