![\begin{aligned}\dfrac{2}{5}\cdot 30 &= \dfrac{2}{5}\cdot\dfrac{30}{1}\\[0.5em] &= \dfrac{60}{5}\\[0.5em] &= 12\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%5Cdfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%5Ccdot%2030%20%26%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%5Ccdot%5Cdfrac%7B30%7D%7B1%7D%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%20%26%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B60%7D%7B5%7D%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%20%26%3D%2012%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
There are 12 athletes in the club.
G(f(4)) = g(4-7) = g(-3) = (-3)² = 9
g(f(4)) = 9
