The correct answer is 10.
In order to evaluate any composite function, you need to first put the value in for the inside function. In this case f(x) is on the inside along with the number 3. So, we input 3 in for x in f(x).
f(x) = 2x + 1
f(3) = 2(3) + 1
f(3) = 6 + 1
f(3) = 7
Now that we have the value of f(3), we can stick the answer in for the outside function, which is g(x).
g(x) = (3x - 1)/2
g(7) = (3(7) - 1)/ 2
g(7) = (21 - 1)/2
g(7) = 20/2
g(f(3)) = 10

Step-by-step explanation:
Squaring a number means to multiply the number by itself.
For example, 3^2 means 3 * 3.
8^2 means 8 * 8.
(-6)^2 means (-6) * (-6).
In each case above, you see that the number that is squared is multiplied by itself.
In this case, (-4.5)^2, squaring the number -4.5, means multiply the number -4.5 by the number -4.5
(-4.5)^2 = (-4.5) * (-4.5)
Now we need to actually multiply -4.5 by -4.5
When you multiply a negative number by a negative number, the result is positive, so the product of -4.5 and -4.5 is a positive number. To find that number, you multiply 4.5 by 4.5
4.5 * 4.5 = 20.25
Therefore, (-4.5)^2 = 20.25
