Answer

a), b) See graphs

Work Step by Step

We are given the functions: $f(x)=x+3$ $g(x)=x^2$ a) Determine $(f+g)(x)$ $(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)=x+3+x^2=x^2+x+3$ Graph $f,g$ and $f+g$ on the same set of coordinate axes: b) Determine $(f\circ g)(x)$: $(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))=f(x^2)=x^2+3$ Graph $f,g$ and $f\circ g$ on the same set of coordinate axes:
