If =x^{2}+2 \) and =\sqrt{\boldsymbol{x}+\mathbf{1}} \) then (\boldsymbol{x}) \)

If \( f: R^{+} \rightarrow R^{+}, f(x)=x^{2}+2 \) and \( g: \) \( \boldsymbol{R}^{+} \rightarrow \boldsymbol{R}^{+}, \boldsymbol{g}(\boldsymbol{x})=\sqrt{\boldsymbol{x}+\mathbf{1}} \) then \( (\boldsymbol{f}+\boldsymbol{g})(\boldsymbol{x}) \) equals

  • A. \( \sqrt{x^{2}+3} \)
  • B. \( x+3 \)
  • C. \( \sqrt{x^{2}+2}+(x+1) \)
  • D. \( x^{2}+2+\sqrt{(x+1)} \)

Step-by-step solution

(f+g)(x) is defined as f(x)+g(x). Given f(x)=x^2+2 and g(x)=√(x+1), sum is x^2+2+√(x+1). This matches option D.
