$\sqrt{x - 1}$ $sqrt(x-1)$ ; $\sqrt{x} - 1$ $sqrt(x)-1$ ; $1$ $1$ ; $0.41$ $0.41$

Explanation:

$(f \cdot g) (x)$ $(f*g)(x)$ can be rewritten as $f (g (x))$ $f(g(x))$
This means that for an x-value, you input that into $g (x)$ $g(x)$ , and then input your solution for that into $f (x)$ $f(x)$ .
$f (g (2)) = \sqrt{2 - 1}$ $f(g(2))=sqrt(2-1)$
$\sqrt{1} = 1$ $sqrt(1)=1$
$(g \cdot f) (x)$ $(g*f)(x)$ can be rewritten as $g (f (x)) .$ $g(f(x)).$ This time we start with $f (x)$ $f(x)$ and plug that into $g (x) .$ $g(x).$
$g (f (2)) = (\sqrt{2}) - 1$ $g(f(2))=(sqrt(2))-1$ (Its good to memorize that $\sqrt{2} \approx 1.41$ $sqrt(2)~~1.41$ )
$1.41 - 1$ $1.41-1$
$2$ $2$
