Answer:

C

Explanation:

Okay, so for this, you need to know that (g°f)(x) = g(f(x))

in order words, we are using the f(x) equation as X for the g(x) equation..


( x^(2) +5 + 5)/( x^(2) +5) =
(x^(2)+10)/(x^(2)+5)

Now, we just plug in -3 for X


((-3)^(2) + 10 )/((-3)^(2) + 5) =(9 + 10)/(9 + 5) = (19)/(14)
