Q. Graphs and Functions composition of two functions Advanced For the real-valued functions f(x)=4x+3f(x)=4x+3 and g(x)=x3g(x)=\sqrt{x-3}, find the composition fgf\circ g and specify its domain using interval notation.
  1. Identify functions: Identify the functions to be composed. f(x)=4x+3f(x) = 4x + 3 and g(x)=x3g(x) = \sqrt{x - 3}.
  2. Compose f and g: Compose f and g to find f(g(x))f(g(x)). \newlinef(g(x))=f(x3)=4(x3)+3f(g(x)) = f(\sqrt{x - 3}) = 4(\sqrt{x - 3}) + 3.
  3. Determine domain of gg: Determine the domain of g(x)g(x), since it affects the domain of f(g(x))f(g(x)).g(x)=x3g(x) = \sqrt{x - 3} is defined for x30x - 3 \geq 0, which simplifies to x3x \geq 3.
  4. Check restrictions: Check if there are any additional restrictions from f(x)f(x) that could affect the domain of f(g(x))f(g(x)).f(x)=4x+3f(x) = 4x + 3 does not impose any further restrictions since it is defined for all real xx.
  5. Combine domain restrictions: Combine the domain restrictions. The domain of f(g(x))f(g(x)) is x3x \geq 3.
