Answer

The statement makes sense because by calculating through the given information, we see that the statement's answer is correct.

Work Step by Step

With the given information in the statement, we can test to make sure that the answer is correct. $f(x)=\sqrt x$ $g(x)=2x-1$ $f(g(5))=g(2)$ $g(2)=2(2)-1=4-1=3$ $f(g(5))=f(2(5)-1)=f(10-1)=f(9)=\sqrt9=3$
