It looks like you've uploaded an image containing a worksheet titled
"Decomposition of Functions" with several problems related to function composition and decomposition. However, since I can't view images directly, I can’t see the specific content or task in your image.
But based on the title and typical structure of such worksheets, here’s how I can help:

🔍 What is Function Decomposition?
Function decomposition involves breaking down a complex function into simpler functions that are composed together. For example, if:
$$
h(x) = f(g(x))
$$
then $ h $ is the composition of $ f $ and $ g $. The goal in these problems is often to:
- Find $ f $ and $ g $ such that $ h(x) = f(g(x)) $
- Evaluate composite functions
- Solve for unknowns given compositions

📝 Common Types of Problems on Such Sheets:
1. Given $ h(x) = f(g(x)) $, find possible $ f(x) $ and $ g(x) $
2. Evaluate $ (f \circ g)(x) $ or $ (g \circ f)(x) $
3. Solve equations involving function composition
4. Find inverse or simplify expressions using composition

✔ How You Can Help Me Solve It:
Please
describe the problem or
type out the specific question from the image. For example:
> "Problem 1: If $ h(x) = (x^2 + 1)^3 $, find functions $ f $ and $ g $ such that $ h(x) = f(g(x)) $."
Or:
> "Given $ f(x) = x^2 $ and $ g(x) = 2x + 1 $, find $ (f \circ g)(x) $."
Once I know the exact problem, I’ll solve it step by step and explain clearly.

Tip: If you’re unsure how to decompose a function, look for an “inner” function (the one inside parentheses or being operated on), and then the “outer” function acting on it.
For example:
- $ h(x) = \sqrt{x^2 + 1} $
- Inner: $ g(x) = x^2 + 1 $
- Outer: $ f(x) = \sqrt{x} $
- So $ h(x) = f(g(x)) $
