`f(x)= 10 - sqrtx `
`g(x)= (x+12)/(7-x)`
`f(g(x)) = f((x+12)/(7-x)) = 10 - sqrt((x+12)/(7-x))`
`` Now we will find the domain.
We know that the domain are the values of x such that fog is defined.
First: `(7-x) shoule not be 0 ==gt 7-x != 0 ==gt x != 7`
==> `x in (-oo,7)U(7,oo` )......(1)
Second: `(x+12)/(7-x)` should be equal or greater than zero.
`==gt (x+12)/(7-x) gt= 0 `
`==gt (x+12) gt= 0 and (7-x) gt=0 `
`==gt x gt=-12 and x lt= 7 `
`==gt x in [-12,7` ]............(2)
Also,
`(x+12)lt= 0 and 7-x lt= 0 `
`==gt x lt= -12 and x gt= 7 `
`==gt x in phi.`
`` Then the domain is (1) and (2).
`==gt x in [ -12,7] nn (-oo,7) U (7,oo) `
`==gt x in [ -12,7] nn (-oo,7) U [-12,7] nn (7,oo) `
`==gt x in [-12,7) U phi ==gt x in [-12, 7)`
`` But the domain of f(x) is `[0,oo)`
`` => `x in [-12,7) nn [0,oo) `
`==gt x in [0, 7` )
Then, the domain of fog(x) is [0,7).
