The domain and range of a composite function f(g(x)) is where the domain and range of f(x) and g(x) overlap.

The domain of f(x) is (-∞, ∞). The domain of g(x) is also (-∞, ∞).

Thus, the domain of f(g(x)) is (-∞, ∞) ∩ (-∞, ∞), or just (-∞, ∞).

The range of f(x) is [0, ∞). That's because the absolute value is always positive. The range of g(x) is (-∞, ∞).

Thus, the range of f(g(x)) is [0,
∞) ∩ (-∞, ∞), or just [0, ∞).

Answer:

the domain would be all real numbers because there are no restrictions on your x values and the range would be greater than or equal to 0.

domain: all real numbers

range: y ≥0
