Answer

a) $= -3$ b) $= -6$ c)$= 2$ d)$= 3$ e) $= -2$ f) $= 3$ g) They are inverse functions of each other. Where the inverse of $f(x)$ is $g(x)$.

Work Step by Step

a) $f[g(-3)]$ $= f(2)$ $= -3$ b) $g[f(-6)]$ $= g(3)$ $= -6$ c) $g[f(2)]$ $= g(-3)$ $= 2$ d) $f[g(3)]$ $= f(-6)$ $= 3$ e) $f[g(-2)]$ $= f(3)$ $= -2$ f) $g[f(3)]$ $= g(-2)$ $= 3$ g) They are inverses of each other since their $x$ and $y$ values swap as you move between the functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$.
