The tables of values we have are:

And we are asked to find:


f(g(3))

Step 1. The first step is to find g(3).

In g(3) the value of x is given by the number inside the parentheses:


x=3

Looking at our table of values for g(x) when the x-value is 3, the g(x) value is:

Thus:


g(3)=5

Step 2. Substitute g(3)=5 into the expression:


f(g(3))=f(5)

Step 3. Find f(5).

Now we look at the table for f(x) and find the f(x) value when the x-value is 5:

Thus, the answer is:


f(g(3))=f(5)=\boxed{4}

Answer: 4

x|3 4 5_________f(x)| 2 3 4x| 2 3 4_______g(x)| 3 5 731. Values for the functions-example-1
x|3 4 5_________f(x)| 2 3 4x| 2 3 4_______g(x)| 3 5 731. Values for the functions-example-2
x|3 4 5_________f(x)| 2 3 4x| 2 3 4_______g(x)| 3 5 731. Values for the functions-example-3
