$f (x) = 4 x + 1$ , $g (x) = \sqrt{x}$

Step 1

Set up the composite result function.

$f (g (x))$

Step 2

Evaluate $f (\sqrt{x})$ by substituting in the value of $g$ into $f$ .

$f (\sqrt{x}) = 4 (\sqrt{x}) + 1$

Step 3

Set the radicand in $\sqrt{x}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$x \geq 0$

Step 4

The domain is all values of $x$ that make the expression defined.

$[0, \infty)$
