Question 469572: I need help solving this problem. I'm not quite sure that I understand how to do it:
Let +f%28x%29=sqrt%286x%29+ and +g%28x%29=x%2B3+ . What's the smallest number that is in the domain of (f)(g)?
I have been trying to figure out how to solve problems like this, but I just don't get it. I'd be very thankful if you could please explain this to me. Thank you for your time.

What's the smallest number that is in the domain of (f)(g)
f(x)=sqrt(6x)
g(x)=x+3
**
f[g(x)]=f(x+3)=sqrt(6(x+3))=sqrt(6x+18)
radican≥0
6x+18≥0
6x≥-18
x≥-3
Domain: [-3,∞)
ans:
smallest number in domain=-3
