Answer:

f(g(-2)) = 35

Explanation:

When something is in parentheses, it should be treated as an "x" value. So first, plug (-2) into the g(x) function.

g(x) = -x - 6

g(-2) = -(-2) - 6

g(-2) = 2 - 6

g(-2) = -4

Secondly, plug the answer to g(-2) into the f(x) function.

f(x) = x² - 4x + 3

f(-4) = (-4)² - 4(-4) + 3

f(-4) = 16 + 16 + 3

f(-4) = 35

Therefore, f(g(-2)) = 35.
