\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: (fog)(x)= x + 7\: ;\:\: (-∞,∞)

____________________________________


\large \tt Solution \: :


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: f(x) = {x}^(2) + 2

and


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: g(x) = √(x + 5)

Now,


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: (fog)(x) = f(g(x))


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: f(g(x)) = (g(x)) { }^(2) + 2


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: f(g(x)) = ( √(x + 5) ) {}^(2) + 2


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: f(g(x)) = x + 5 + 2


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: f(g(x)) = x + 7

And here, x can have any real value. because there's no condition where " x + 7 " is not defined and neither it is in indeterminate form.

Therefore, it's domain is All Real. i.e (-∞ , ∞)
