To determine if $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are inverses of each other, we check if $f(g(x)) = x$ and $g(f(x)) = x$. For $f(x) = (x - 2)^2, x \geq 2$ and $g(x) = \sqrt{x} + 2$, we find that $f(g(x)) = (\sqrt{x} + 2 - 2)^2 = x$ and $g(f(x)) = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2} + 2 = x$, given the domain restrictions. Thus, they are inverses of each other.
