Hi,

Homework Statement


Given:[tex]f(x)=x^2+2[/tex] and [tex]g (x)=\sqrt{x}[/tex]

Find: [tex]f \circ g[/tex] and [tex]g \circ f[/tex]

2. The attempt at a solution
[tex]f \circ g =f(g(x))=x+2[/tex], where [tex]x\in (-\infty ; +\infty)[/tex]

[tex]g \circ f =g(f(x))=\sqrt{x^2+2}[/tex] where [tex]x\in (-\infty ;+ \infty)[/tex]

I haven't done this for a while, and I'm not sure about my solution. Is it correct?
