Answer

\[\left( g\circ f \right)\left( 0 \right)=-21\]

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. Now, $f\left( 0 \right)=2\left( 0 \right)-5=-5$ , thus we have $\begin{align} & \left( g\circ f \right)\left( 0 \right)=g\left( f\left( 0 \right) \right) \\ & =g\left( -5 \right) \\ & =4\left( -5 \right)-1 \\ & =-21 \end{align}$
