Answer

$a.\quad f\circ g=1-2\sqrt{x}+x$ $\ \ \ \ \quad g\circ f=1-|x|$ $b.\quad \mathrm{Domains:}$ $i.\quad f\circ g=1-2\sqrt{x}+x$ $\mathrm{Domain:}\ \ [0,\infty)$ $ii.\quad g\circ f=1-|x|$ $\mathrm{Domain:}\ \ (-\infty,\infty)$ $c.\quad \mathrm{Ranges:}$ $i.\quad f\circ g=1-2\sqrt{x}+x$ $\mathrm{Range:}\ \ [0,\infty)$ $ii.\quad g\circ f=1-|x|$ $\mathrm{Range:}\ \ (-\infty,1]$

Work Step by Step

$a.\quad f\circ g=(1-\sqrt{x})^2=1-2\sqrt{x}+x$ $\ \ \ \ \quad g\circ f=1-\sqrt{x^2}=1-|x|$ $b.\quad \mathrm{Domains:}$ $i.\quad f\circ g=1-2\sqrt{x}+x$ The square root portion of the expression will control the domain. $\mathrm{Domain:}\ \ [0,\infty)$ $ii.\quad g\circ f=1-|x|$ There is no restriction for $\ x.$ $\mathrm{Domain:}\ \ (-\infty,\infty)$ $c.\quad \mathrm{Ranges:}$ $i.\quad f\circ g=1-2\sqrt{x}+x$ $\mathrm{Range:}\ \ [0,\infty)$ $ii.\quad g\circ f=1-|x|$ $\mathrm{Range:}\ \ (-\infty,1]$
