How do you find the domain of [fog](x) given f(x)=1/x and g(x)=7-x?

Domain of #fog#: RR-{7}

Explanation:

If f(color(red)x)=1/color(red)x
then #fog=f(color(red)(g(x)))=1/color(red)(g(x))#

which is defined for all values of color(red)(g(x))!=0

Since color(red)(g(color(blue)x)=7-color(blue)x
color(white)("XXX")color(red)(g(color(blue)x))!=0color(white)("X")rarrcolor(white)("X")color(blue)x!=7

That is #fog# is defined for all real values of x except x=7
