Let's work through the questions in the image step by step.

### 1. Diagram Functions
Given:
- \( f: A \to B \)
- \( g: B \to C \)

#### a. Compute \( (g \circ f)(1), (g \circ f)(2), (g \circ f)(3), \) and \( (g \circ f)(4) \).
To solve this, follow these steps:
- First, evaluate \( f(x) \) for each value from set \( A \) to set \( B \).
- Then, use the output from \( f(x) \) as the input to \( g(x) \).

From the diagram:
- \( f(1) = a \), \( f(2) = c \), \( f(3) = b \), \( f(4) = e \)
- \( g(a) = p \), \( g(b) = r \), \( g(c) = q \), \( g(e) = q \)

Thus:
- \( (g \circ f)(1) = g(f(1)) = g(a) = p \)
- \( (g \circ f)(2) = g(f(2)) = g(c) = q \)
- \( (g \circ f)(3) = g(f(3)) = g(b) = r \)
- \( (g \circ f)(4) = g(f(4)) = g(e) = q \)

#### b. Determine the domain and range of \( g \circ f \).
- **Domain:** The domain of \( g \circ f \) is the same as the domain of \( f \), which is \( A = \{1, 2, 3, 4\} \).
- **Range:** The range of \( g \circ f \) is the set of possible outputs from \( g \circ f \), which are \( \{p, q, r\} \).

### 2. Composition of Functions
Now, let's move to the second part.

You are given four function pairs, and the task is to find \( f \circ g \), \( g \circ f \), and \( f \cdot g \) (likely the multiplication of functions). Let's look at the first one as an example:

#### a. 
- \( f(x) = x^2 + 3 \)
- \( g(x) = x - 1 \)

1. \( f \circ g(x) = f(g(x)) = f(x - 1) = (x - 1)^2 + 3 = x^2 - 2x + 1 + 3 = x^2 - 2x + 4 \)
2. \( g \circ f(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x^2 + 3) = (x^2 + 3) - 1 = x^2 + 2 \)
3. \( f \cdot g(x) = f(x) \cdot g(x) = (x^2 + 3) \cdot (x - 1) = x^3 - x^2 + 3x - 3 \)

### 3. Finding Functions for Compositions
You are tasked with determining two functions \( f \) and \( g \) such that \( f \circ g(x) = h(x) \).

#### a. Given \( h(x) = (2x + 1)^2 \), you can think of decomposing it as follows:
Let:
- \( g(x) = 2x + 1 \)
- \( f(x) = x^2 \)

Now check:
- \( f(g(x)) = f(2x + 1) = (2x + 1)^2 = h(x) \)

This means the functions \( f(x) = x^2 \) and \( g(x) = 2x + 1 \) satisfy \( f \circ g(x) = h(x) \).
