Given that the functions
f(x)=x+4 and
g(x)=x^(3)

We need to determine the value of the function
(g \ {\circ} f)(-3)

First, we shall determine the composition of the function
(g \circ f)(x)

Function
(g \circ f)(x):

Let us determine the function
(g \circ f)(x)

Thus, we have;


(g \circ f)(x)=g[f(x)]


=g[x+4]


=(x+4)^3


(g \circ f)(x)=x^3+3x^2(4)+3x(4)^2+(4)^3


(g \circ f)(x)=x^3+12x^2+48x+64

Thus, the function is
(g \circ f)(x)=x^3+12x^2+48x+64

Value of the function
(g \ {\circ} f)(-3):

The value of the function can be determined by substituting x = -3 in the function
(g \circ f)(x)=x^3+12x^2+48x+64

Thus, we have;


(g \circ f)(-3)=(-3)^3+12(-3)^2+48(-3)+64

Simplifying the terms, we get;


(g \circ f)(-3)=-27+12(9)+48(-3)+64


(g \circ f)(-3)=-27+108-144+64


(g \circ f)(-3)=1

Thus, the value of the function
(g \ {\circ} f)(-3) is 1.
