(f\circ g)(-3)=4

To solve this, we can use the definition of composite functions:


(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))

Now we just need to find the value of g(-3) and then evaluate that result in f(x)

Looking at the graph, g(-3) = 1

Now we need to find f(1). In the graph we can see that f(1) = 4

Then f(g(-3)) = 4
