Answer:

second choice

Explanation:

First, do the composition of the functions.


(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x))


= f(√(x + 3))


(f \circ g)(x) = -8√(x + 3) - 4

Now we find (fog)(9).


(f \circ g)(9) = -8√(9 + 3) - 4


(f \circ g)(9) = -8√(12) - 4


(f \circ g)(9) = -16√(3) - 4

(fog)(9) evaluates to a real number, so 9 is in the domain of the composition of functions f and g.
