Answer

(a) $ x$, domain $(-\infty,\infty)$, (b) $ x$, domain $(0,\infty)$, (c) $ 3$, (d) $ log_2(4x)$, domain $(0,\infty)$, (e) $ 5$.

Work Step by Step

Given $f(x)=log_2(x),g(x)=2^x,h(x)=4x$, we have: (a) $(f\circ g)(x)=log_2(2^x)=x$, domain $(-\infty,\infty)$, (b) $(g\circ f)(x)=2^{log_2(x)}=x$, domain $(0,\infty)$, (c) $(f\circ g)(3)=3$, (d) $(f\circ h)(x)=log_2(4x)$, domain $(0,\infty)$, (e) $(f\circ h)(8)=log_2(4(8))=5$.
