Answer

$g(-1) = 2$ $g(x+5) = x^{2} + 12x + 38$ $g(-x) = x^{2} -2x + 3$

Work Step by Step

$g(x) = x^{2} + 2x + 3$ $g(-1) = (-1)^{2} + 2(-1) + 3$ $= 1 - 2 + 3$ $= -1 + 3$ $= 2$ $g(x+5) = (x+5)^{2} + 2(x+5) + 3$ $= [x(x+5)+5(x+5)] + 2x + 10 + 3$ $= x^{2} + 10x + 25 + 2x + 10 + 3$ $= x^{2} + 12x + 38$ $g(-x) = (-x)^{2} + 2(-x) + 3$ $= x^{2} -2x + 3$
