Answer

$g(3)=-\dfrac{17}{48}$ $g(-2)=\dfrac{2}{7}$ $g(1)=-\dfrac{3}{8}$

Work Step by Step

To find $g(3), g(-2), \text{ and } g(1)$, susbtitute 3, -2, and 1, respectively, to $x$ to have: $g(3)=\dfrac{3^2+8}{3^3-25(3)}=\dfrac{9+8}{27-75}=\dfrac{17}{-48}=-\dfrac{17}{48} \\ \\g(-2)=\dfrac{(-2)^2+8}{(-2)^3-25(-2)}=\dfrac{4+8}{-8+50}=\dfrac{12}{42}=\dfrac{2}{7} \\ \\g(1)=\dfrac{1^2+8}{1^3-25(1)}=\dfrac{1+8}{1-25}=\dfrac{9}{-24}=-\dfrac{3}{8}$
