Answer

$a.\quad x=0$ and $x=2.32$ $b.\quad x\in[2.32,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

$a.$ Graph $f(x)=1+\sqrt{x}$ (red on the image) and $g(x)=\sqrt{x^{2}+1}$ (blue). The solution (if it exists) is the x-coordinate of the intersection. Solution: $x=0$ and $x=2.32$ $b.$ Using the graphs of part (a), we see that the red graph is above but not intersecting the blue graph on $[2.32,\infty)$
