***The complete question is: Let f(x)= sqrt 6x and g(x)=x+3 smallest number that is in the domain of f(g(x))***

Answer: The smallest number that is in the domain is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given functions:


f(x) = √(6x)


g(x) = x + 3

To find f(g(x)), put g(x) in f(x) as follows:


f(g(x)) = f(x+3) = √(6(x+3)) = √(6x + 18)

As (6x+18) is in square-root (and square-root of a negative number is an imaginary value), therefore, the domain should be the following:


6x + 18 \geq 0\\6x \geq -18\\x \geq -3

Therefore, the domain is [-3, +∞).

So the smallest number that is in the domain is -3.
