Answer

\[{{f}^{-1}}\left( g\left( 1 \right) \right)=-1\]

Work Step by Step

The value of the given composite function can be obtained using the definition of composite functions and the values of $f$ and $g$ at the required points, which can be obtained very easily from the above table. $\begin{align} & {{f}^{-1}}\left( g\left( 1 \right) \right)={{f}^{-1}}\left( 1 \right) \\ & =-1 \end{align}$ Here, ${{f}^{-1}}\left( 1 \right)=-1$ because $f\left( -1 \right)=1$.
