how would you find out the range?
i have the markscheme so i dont need the right answer, i just want to know how they arrived there because the step wasnt in the MS.

this is how i would usually do it (based on the many questions ive done)
the Domain of fg is the domain of g(x) therefore D(fg) (0, infinity)
the range of fg is the range of g(x) R(-3, infinity) applied to f(x) so f(x)= (-3)^2 -25 = -16
and f(x) =(infinity)^2 - 25 = infinity so
R(fg) = (-16, infinity)
which isnt right accoridng to the mark scheme

So you're looking for the range of
for domain 
.For a lot of functions, you can't just plug in the max/min of the domain and expect to get the range - you need to actually think what the biggest and smallest values of
are if the domain is .So for example, you say the range is
but if I plug in -2 (which is within the domain) into I get 
and this is less than -16. So the range can't be .Have a go at correcting this. It may help if you sketch a graph of
.Also, the domain of fg is not always the domain of g. That can be explained after you understand the range.

You have the range of g(x) correct.

I totally forgot about this problem with quadraticss!!!! i usually always draw graphs but when it comes to function it almost always escape my mind, thanks

It's always best to think about the range and not just plug in the mix/max of the domain. Drawing a sketch is often useful if you're unsure.By the way, here's an example where the domain of fg is not the same as the domain of g.

You would say that the domain of
is 
but can you see why this can't be correct?
