Given: f ( x ) = x 2 f\left( x \right) =\frac { x }{ \sqrt { 2 } } , g ( x ) = f ( x ) 2 + x 2 g\left( x \right) ={ f\left( x \right) }^{ 2 }+{ x }^{ 2 } and f ( x ) f ( x ) f ( x ) f ( x ) . . . = 2 \huge{ f\left( x \right) }^{ { { f\left( x \right) }^{ { f\left( x \right) }^{ f\left( x \right) } } }^{ ... } }=2

What is the value of g ( x ) g\left( x \right) ?

Let f ( x ) = X f\left( x \right) = X Then,

X X X X . . . = 2 {X}^{ { { X }^{ { X }^{ X } } }^{ ... } }=2

X X X X . . . = l o g X 2 {X}^{ { { X }^{ { X }^{ X } } }^{ ... } } = log_{X} 2

Substuting, X X X X . . . = 2 {X}^{ { { X }^{ { X }^{ X } } }^{ ... } }=2

2 = l o g X 2 2 = log_{X} 2

X 2 = 2 X^2 = 2

X = f ( x ) = 2 X=f\left( x \right)= \sqrt {2}

Substituting the value of X in f ( x ) = X f\left( x \right) = X ,

x 2 = 2 \large {\frac { x }{ \sqrt { 2 } }= \sqrt {2}}

x = 2 \large { x = 2}

Thus, g ( x ) = f ( x ) 2 + x 2 g\left( x \right) ={ f\left( x \right) }^{ 2 }+{ x }^{ 2 }

g ( x ) = ( 2 2 ) + ( 2 2 ) g\left( x \right) = (\large{\sqrt { 2 }^2}) + (\large {2^2})

g ( x ) = 2 + 4 = 6 \large {g\left( x \right)}= \large{ 2 + 4} = \boxed {\large {6}}

You have a mistake in substitution.

Let y=2=f(x)^(f(x)^...)...), Then f(x)^y=2 or f(x)^2 = 2, f(x)=sqrt(2). By Substituting we get x=2 and g(x)=6
