The Attempt at a Solution


[tex]= f(g(h(x)))[/tex]
[tex]= f(g(\sqrt{x+3}))[/tex]
[tex]= f(cos\sqrt{x+3})[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{2}{cos\sqrt{x+3}+1}[/tex]

Is this right, and am I showing enough work to get full marks? Do I need restrictions for example?

It's correct and looks fine. What do you mean by restrictions?

I meant by the restrictions on x.
 
So you mean giving the (restricted) domain. You shouldn't have to include that, unless it will make you feel better by doing so. :smile: I wouldn't since the question didn't ask, and finding the domain for this one is a little involved.
 
Alright, I'll stick with what I have. Thanks for the help. :)
