f(x) = (x + 1)^3

g(x) = cubic root x + 1

f(g)(x) =


\begin{gathered} f(g(x))\text{ = (3}\sqrt[]{x}+2)^3 \\ f(g(x))\text{ = x + 6(3}\sqrt[]{x})^2\text{ + 12(3}\sqrt[]{x})\text{ + 8} \\ f(g(-64))\text{ = -64 + 6(3}\sqrt[]{-64})^2\text{ + 12(3}\sqrt[]{-64})\text{ + 8} \\ f(g(-64))\text{ = -64 + 6(16) - 48 + 8} \\ f(g(-64))\text{ = -64 + 96 - 48 + 8} \\ f(g(-64))\text{ = 104 - 112} \\ f(g(-64))\text{ = -8} \end{gathered}

result

f(g(-64)) = -8
