Using substitution, you can plug in
(-4y^3) for x to find the answer

Step 1, plug in the value into the equation


g(-4y^3)=(-4y^3)^2-5

Step 2, simplify exponents (remember outside exponents multiply with inside exponents)


g(-4y^3)=16y^6-5

Therefore, your simplified equation would be


y=16y^6-5 or
g(x) = 16y^6-5
