Answer 1

In general
`\left( f\circ g \right)(x) = f\left(g(x)\right)`, so in your case you need to work out
`\left( f\circ g \right)(5) = f\left(g(5)\right)`.

You start by finding
`g(5) = (5)^2 - 2(5) -3`.

Once you work that out, you'll then plug that answer in as an x-value into
`f(x)`.

That will give you your final answer.
