\(f(g(-3))\) is equal to c.
\(23\).
\( f(h(7)) \) is equal to d.
\( 442 \).

To evaluate the expression
\(f(g(-3))\), you first need to find the value of
\(g(-3)\) and then substitute that value into the function
\(f(x)\).

Given that
\(g(x) = x^2 + 3\), let's find
\(g(-3)\):


\[g(-3) = (-3)^2 + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12\]

Now that we have the value of
\(g(-3)\), substitute it into the function
\(f(x) = 2x - 1\):


\[f(g(-3)) = f(12) = 2 * 12 - 1 = 24 - 1 = 23\]

Therefore,
\(f(g(-3))\) is equal to
\(23\).

To find the value of
\( f(h(7)) \), you need to first find
\( h(7) \) and then substitute that value into the function
\( f(x) \).

Given that
\( h(x) = 2x + 1 \), let's find
\( h(7) \):


\[ h(7) = 2 * 7 + 1 = 14 + 1 = 15 \]

Now that we have the value of
\( h(7) \), substitute it into the function
\( f(x) = 2x^2 - 8 \):


\[ f(h(7)) = f(15) = 2 * 15^2 - 8 = 2 * 225 - 8 = 450 - 8 = 442 \]

Therefore,
\( f(h(7)) \) is equal to
\( 442 \).

The probable question may be: "Evaluate the expression f(g(-3)) using the given functions. f(x)=2x-1; g(x)=
x^2+3
a. 33
b. -77
c. 23
d. -28

Determine the value of f(h(7)) using the provided functions. f(x)=
2x^2-8; h(x)=2x+1

a. 577

b. 299
c. 450
d. 442"
