The composition f(g(x)) is given by
\(√(12x + 20)\), with the restriction that
\(x \geq -(5)/(3)\) to ensure the expression inside the square root is non-negative, thereby defining the domain.

Assuming you want to find the composition f(g(x)), where
\(f(x) = √(4x)\) and g(x) = 3x + 5, you can proceed as follows:


\[ f(g(x)) = √(4(3x + 5)) \]

Now, simplify the expression inside the square root:


\[ f(g(x)) = √(12x + 20) \]

To find any restrictions on the domain, note that the expression inside the square root (12x + 20) must be non-negative for the function to be defined. Therefore, solve the inequality:


\[ 12x + 20 \geq 0 \]


\[ 12x \geq -20 \]


\[ x \geq -(5)/(3) \]

So, the composition
\(f(g(x)) = √(12x + 20)\) is defined for
\(x \geq -(5)/(3)\).
