Answer:

The correct answer is:


g(x) = x+1

Explanation:

Given that:


h(x) = f\circ g(x)= \sqrt[3]{x+3}


f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x+2}

To find:


g(x) = ?

Solution:

Let
g(x) = m

We have


f\circ g(x)= \sqrt[3]{x+3}\\OR\\f( g(x))= \sqrt[3]{x+3}...... (1)

Now, we have let:


g(x) = m\\\therefore f(g(x)) = f(m)

Putting x = in f(x), we get


f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x+2}\\\Rightarrow f(m) = \sqrt[3]{m+2}....... (2)

Comparing equation (1) and (2):


\sqrt[3]{x+3} =\sqrt[3]{m+2}

Taking cubes both sides:


x+3=m+2\\\Rightarrow m = x+3-2\\\Rightarrow m = x+1


\therefore g(x) = x+1

Hence,

The correct answer is:


g(x) = x+1
