Recall that:


(f\circ f)(x)=f(f(x)).

Therefore:


(f\circ f)(x)=f(\sqrt[]{x+2})=\sqrt[]{\sqrt[]{x+2}+2}.

Now, the above function is well defined as long as x+2 remains positive, therefore, it is well defined as long as x is greater or equal to -2.

Answer: The domain is:


\lbrack-2,\infty).

The composition is:


(f\circ f)(x)=f(\sqrt[]{x+2})=\sqrt[]{\sqrt[]{x+2}+2}.
