Solution:

Given the functions below;


\begin{gathered} f(x)=-5x+3 \\ g(x)=x^2 \end{gathered}

Where


(g\circ f)(x)=(-5x+3)^2

Where, x = 2,

Substitute 2 for x into the composite function above


\begin{gathered} (g\circ f)(2)=(-5(2)+3)^2=(-10+3)^2=(-7)^2=49 \\ (g\circ f)(2)=49 \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is 49
