For the real-valued functions
So, the composition
Step 1 :Given the functions
Step 2 :
Step 3 :Simplify the expression inside the square root:
Step 4 :
Step 5 :The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) which will output real numbers. The square root function is only defined for values greater than or equal to zero. Therefore, we set the expression inside the square root greater than or equal to zero and solve for x:
Step 6 :
Step 7 :Subtract 9 from both sides:
Step 8 :
Step 9 :Divide by 3:
Step 10 :
Step 11 :Therefore, the domain of the function
Step 12 :So, the composition
