<h3>Answer is -9</h3>
=================================
Work Shown:
(g°h)(x) is the same as g(h(x))
So, (g°h)(0) = g(h(0))
Effectively h(x) is the input to g(x). Let's first find h(0)
h(x) = x^2+3
h(0) = 0^2+3
h(0) = 3
So g(h(x)) becomes g(h(0)) after we replace x with 0, then it updates to g(3) when we replace h(0) with 3.
Now let's find g(3)
g(x) = -3x
g(3) = -3*3
g(3) = -9
-------
alternatively, you can plug h(x) algebraically into the g(x) function
g(x) = -3x
g( h(x) ) = -3*( h(x) ) ... replace all x terms with h(x)
g( h(x) ) = -3*(x^2 + 3) ... replace h(x) on right side with x^2+3
g( h(x) ) = -3x^2 - 9
Next we can plug in x = 0
g( h(0) ) = -3(0)^2 - 9
g( h(0) ) = -9
we get the same result.
You can combine the same numbers with the same variables using the operation sign for each. For example, using your equation, you would combine the 3n and 4n which is 7n. So your equation would be
7n - 2
