Let f & g be 2 functions with overlapping domains. then, for all x common to both domains, the sum, difference, product, and quotient of f & g are defined as:
1. Sum ( f+g )(x) = f (x) + g (x)
2. Difference ( f - g )(x) = f (x) - g (x)
3. Product ( f • g )(x) = f (x) • g (x)
4. Quotient ( f / g )(x) = f (x) / g (x), g(x) ≠ 0

So the composition f(g(x)) = x2, and the domain of this function is all real numbers. However, this is not the domain of the composition. We need to look at the domain of g(x) to know the domain of the composition.
g(x) = √(9-x2), so its domain is where 9 - x2 ≥ 0
g(x) = √(9-x2) 9 - x2 ≥ 0
