Step 1 :The composition of two functions, \(f(g(x))\), means that we substitute \(g(x)\) into \(f(x)\). In this case, we substitute \(g(x) = \sqrt{x-6}\) into \(f(x) = x^2 + 1\).
Step 2 :The domain of the composition function is the set of all real numbers that \(g(x)\) can take such that \(f(g(x))\) is defined. Since \(g(x) = \sqrt{x-6}\), the domain of \(g(x)\) is \(x \geq 6\). This is because the square root of a negative number is not a real number.
Step 3 :Therefore, the domain of \(f \circ g\) is also \(x \geq 6\).
Step 4 :The composition \(f \circ g\) is \(x - 5\).
Step 5 :\(\boxed{(f \circ g)(x)=x - 5}\)
Step 6 :The domain of \(f \circ g\) is \([6, \infty)\).
Step 7 :\(\boxed{\text{Domain of } f \circ g: [6, \infty)}\)
