Express the function \(y=\sqrt{x^2+4}\)as a composition of \(y=f(g(x))\)of the two simpler functions \(y= f(u)\)and \(u=g(x)\)

 

\(f(u) =\)

\(g(x)=\)

 

I know how to put a function into another function but I don't know what this thing is asking :S

So I think I've got it....

 

I believe the y function is doing the square root so...

 

f(u) = x+4

g(x)= x^2

 

 

??

Try  \(g(x)=x^2+4\)  and  \(f(u)=\sqrt u\)

 

or  \(g(x)=x^2\)   and  \(f(u)=\sqrt{u+4}\)

 

or ...

.     \(y=\sqrt{x^2+4}\)

 

.     \(y=Root\ from \ ( x^2+4)\) 

.               u                    g

 

f(u)=\(\sqrt{g(x)}\)

 

\(g(x)=(x^2+4)\) 

 

I hope I could help.

Alan was correct with, g(x)=x^2+4 and f(u)=sqrt(u)
