Find 

f\circ g

g\circ f

f(x)=x^2

g(x)=x-4

What are domains of the following functions? Do they have any restrictions, if so, what are they?

f(x)=x+2

g(x)=\frac{1}{x+2}

h(x)=\sqrt{x+2}

  1. No restrictions, all real numbers is the domain.

2. One restriction that the denominator cannot equal zero, Domain cannot include -2

3. One restriction that the square root cannot be negative. Domain cannot include any number less than -2.

Is 

A\subseteq B

A={x\in\mathbb{N}: x=4\mathbb{N}}

B={x\in\mathbb{N}: x=2\mathbb{N}}

Yes because the cardinality of A is less than B and everything contained in A is contained in B.
