Answer

$f\circ g(x)=|2x+3|;\qquad $ domain: $(-\infty,\infty)$ $ g\circ f(x)=2|x|+3 ; \quad$ domain: $(-\infty,\infty)$ $ f\circ f(x)=|x|; \quad$ domain: $(-\infty,\infty)$ $ g\circ g(x)=4x+9; \quad$ domain: $(-\infty,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

f(x) is defined for all x, g(x) is defined for all x, $ f\circ g(x)=f[g(x)]= |g(x)|\quad$on the domain of $g$(x) $=|2x+3|\quad$ on $(-\infty,\infty)$ $=|2x+3|;\qquad $ domain: $(-\infty,\infty)$ $g\circ f(x)=g[f(x)]=2f(x)+3 \quad$on the domain of f(x),\ $=2|x|+3 ; \quad$ domain: $(-\infty,\infty)$ $ f\circ f(x)=f[f(x)]=|f(x)|,\qquad$on the domain of f(x) $=||x||,\quad $ on $(-\infty,\infty)$ $=|x|; \quad$ domain: $(-\infty,\infty)$ $ g\circ g(x)=g[g(x)]=2g(x)+3 \quad$on the domain of $g$(x) $=2(2x+3)+3\quad$on $(-\infty,\infty)$ $=4x+9; \quad$ domain: $(-\infty,\infty)$
