Answer : (f \circ f \circ f)(38)=0

Hint : \text { Domain }(f)=(2, \infty) \text { and Range }(f)=(0, \infty)

Given : Let f be a real function given by f(x)=\sqrt{x-2}

Now, we will compute (f \circ f \circ f)(38)

Solution :

Clearly the range (f) is not a subset of domain of (f)

               \begin{aligned} &\therefore \text { Domain of }(f \circ f)=\{x: x \in \text { Domain of } f \text { and } f(x) \in \text { Domain }(f)\}\\ &=\{x: x \in(2, \infty) \text { and } \sqrt{x-2} \in(2, \infty)\}\\ &=\{x: x \in(2, \infty) \text { and } \sqrt{x-2} \geq 2\}\\ &=\{x: x \in(2, \infty) \text { and } x-2 \geq 4\}\\ &=\{x: x \in(2, \infty) \text { and } x \geq 6\}\\ &=(6, \infty) \end{aligned}

Clearly range of f=[0, \infty) \not \subset \text { Domain of }(f \circ f)

      \text{Domain of}((f \circ f) \circ f)=\{x: x \in \text {Domain of } f \text { and } f(x) \in \text {Domain}(f \circ f)\} 

      \therefore \text { Domain of }((f \circ f) \circ f)=\{x: x \in[2, \infty) \text { and } \sqrt{x-2} \in[\not \subset, \infty)\}

     \begin{aligned} &=\{x: x \in[2, \infty) \text { and } \sqrt{x-2} \geq 6\} \\ &=\{x: x \in[2, \infty) \text { and } x-2 \geq 36\} \\ &=\{x: x \in[2, \infty) \text { and } x \geq 38\} \\ &=[38, \infty) \end{aligned}

Now, we will compute (f \circ f \circ f)(x)

 \begin{aligned} (f \circ f)(x) &=f(f(x)) \\ &=f(\sqrt{x-2}) \\ &=\sqrt{\sqrt{x-2}-2} \end{aligned}

Again we will compute (f \circ f \circ f)(x)

\begin{aligned} &(f \circ f \circ f)(x)=(f \circ f)(f(x)) \\ &\qquad \begin{aligned} &\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;=(f \circ f)(\sqrt{x-2}) \\ &\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; =(f \circ f)(\sqrt{x-2}) \end{aligned} \\ &\qquad\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; =\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{x-2}-2}-2} \end{aligned}

Now, (f \circ f \circ f)(38)=\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{38-2}-2}-2}

                                         \begin{aligned} &=\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{36}-2}-2} \\ &=\sqrt{\sqrt{6-2}-2} \\ &=\sqrt{2-2} \\ &=0 \end{aligned}

Hence, (f \circ f \circ f)(38)=0
