Question 763574: I have to find the Domain of g(x)= 3-2√(5-x). i've gone on to mathway.com where it solved it for me but it wont show me the step by step. i've tried moving the 3 over then dividing everything by 2 then squaring everything to get rid of the square root. but then after that i don't know what to do. i've tried searching all night for some form of example online of how to do this problem but none of the examples have numbers in front of the square root so i have no idea what to do with them. :(

Question 764988: F(x) =x^2+2x+4 ; g(x)=v(9-x) (When I do v() that is a square root symbol)
Find each of the following if it exists:
My question is (fg)(-7)
(-7^2+(2)(-7)+4)(v(9-(-7))
(-49-14+4)(v(16))
(-59)(4)
-236
I'm wondering if I figured this out correctly. The minus negative 7 in the square root is throwing me off I dont understand if i should add the 7 because there are two negatives or if I should subtract a negative 7 and also the negative 7 squared it throwing me off I'm confused about how I should count the negatives. Should I count it as -7^2 or (-7)^2? Thank you very much for your help.
