SOLUTION: This is a composition of Functions problem If {{{f(x)=x^2-4}}} and{{{g(x)= sqrt(x+4)}}} find (f0g)(x) So I put f(g(x)) ={{{ f(sqrt(x+4))^2-4)}}} = now I a

Question 114640: This is a composition of Functions problem

If and find (f0g)(x)
So I put f(g(x))
=
= now I am stuck, do I add it all together or leave it like that??

If and find (fog)(x)
----------------
fog(x) = f[g(x)] = f[sqrt(x+4)]
= [sqrt(x+4)]^2-4
= (x+4) - 4
= x
