\text{Solve for f(x) first, then plug your answer from f(x) to g(x)}\\\\\text{Substitute -1 for x in the f(x) equation}\\\\f(x)=(-1)^2\\\\f(x)=1\\\\\text{Now plug 1 into g(x)}\\\\g(x)=(1)/(2(1)+3)\\\\\text{Solve:}\\\\g(x)=(1)/(2(1)+3)\\\\g(x)=(1)/(2+3)\\\\g(x)=(1)/(5)\\\\\text{Your answer would be: C).}\,\,(1)/(5)\\\\\boxed{C).\,\,(1)/(5)}
