Question

Accepted Answer

### Part (a)
# Explanation:
## Step1: Find $ f(0) $
From the graph of $ f(x) $, when $ x = 0 $, the $ y $-value (which is $ f(0) $) is 1. So $ f(0)=1 $.
## Step2: Find $ g(f(0)) = g(1) $
Now, use the graph of $ g(x) $. When $ x = 1 $, we look at the $ y $-value of $ g(x) $. From the graph, when $ x = 1 $, the $ y $-value of $ g(x) $ is 2 (by observing the coordinates on the grid). So $ g(1) = 2 $, which means $ g(f(0))=2 $.

### Part (b)
# Explanation:
## Step1: Find $ g(-2) $
From the graph of $ g(x) $, when $ x=-2 $, we check the $ y $-value. The graph of $ g(x) $ has a point at $ x = -2 $ (assuming the left - most point on the grid for $ g(x) $ corresponds to $ x=-2 $) with $ y $-value (let's assume from the grid) such that when $ x=-2 $, the $ y $-value ( $ g(-2) $) is 0? Wait, no, looking at the $ g(x) $ graph: the left - most point of $ g(x) $ is at $ x=-2 $ (since the grid: let's count the grid squares. If the origin is at (0,0), and the left - most point of $ g(x) $ is 2 units left of the origin, so $ x = - 2 $. The $ y $-value at $ x=-2 $ for $ g(x) $ is 0? Wait, no, looking at the $ g(x) $ graph: the left - most point is a dot, and then the line goes up. Wait, actually, from the $ g(x) $ graph, when $ x=-2 $, the $ y $-value ( $ g(-2) $): let's see the grid. Let's assume each grid square is 1 unit. The left - most point of $ g(x) $ is at $ x=-2 $, $ y = 0 $? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the $ g(x) $ graph: the left - most point is at $ x=-2 $, and then the line goes up to a peak, then down. Wait, actually, when $ x=-2 $, the $ y $-value of $ g(x) $ is 0? Wait, no, let's re - examine. Wait, the $ g(x) $ graph: the left - most point is a dot, let's say at $ x=-2 $, $ y = 0 $, then the line goes up to $ x=-1 $ (maybe) with $ y = 4 $? Wait, no, the first graph ( $ f(x) $) and the second ( $ g(x) $). Wait, for $ g(x) $, when $ x=-2 $, the $ y $-value: looking at the grid, the left - most point of $ g(x) $ is at $ x=-2 $, $ y = 0 $? Wait, no, maybe the left - most point of $ g(x) $ is at $ x=-2 $, and the $ y $-value is 0, then when $ x=-1 $, $ y = 4 $? Wait, no, let's do it properly.

Wait, for part (b):

## Step1: Find $ g(-2) $
From the graph of $ g(x) $, when $ x=-2 $, the $ y $-coordinate (which is $ g(-2) $): let's assume that the left - most point of $ g(x) $ is at $ x=-2 $, and the $ y $-value is 0? Wait, no, looking at the $ g(x) $ graph, the left - most point is a dot, and then the line goes up. Wait, maybe the $ x=-2 $ is the starting point of $ g(x) $, and the $ y $-value at $ x=-2 $ is 0. Then $ g(-2)=0 $? Wait, no, that can't be. Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the $ g(x) $ graph: let's see the coordinates. Let's assume each grid square is 1 unit. The left - most point of $ g(x) $ is at $ x=-2 $, $ y = 0 $, then the line goes up to $ x=-1 $, $ y = 4 $? No, the peak of $ g(x) $ is at $ x=-1 $ (maybe) with $ y = 4 $? Wait, no, the $ g(x) $ graph: when $ x=-2 $, the $ y $-value is 0, when $ x=-1 $, $ y = 4 $, when $ x = 0 $, $ y = 3 $, when $ x = 1 $, $ y = 2 $, when $ x = 2 $, $ y = 1 $? Wait, no, the original $ g(x) $ graph: the left - most point is a dot, then a line to the peak, then a line down. Wait, maybe the $ x=-2 $ is the left - most point, and the $ y $-value there is 0. So $ g(-2)=0 $? Wait, no, that seems wrong. Wait, let's start over.

Wait, for $ g(-2) $: looking at the $ g(x) $ graph, the left - most point is at $ x=-2 $, and the $ y $-value (the height) is 0? Wait, no, maybe the $ x=-2 $ is the input, and the output ( $ g(-2) $) is 0. Then $ g(g(-2))=g(0) $.

## Step2: Find $ g(0) $
From the $ g(x) $ graph, when $ x = 0 $, the $ y $-value ( $ g(0) $): looking at the graph, when $ x = 0 $, the $ y $-value is 3? Wait, no, the $ g(x) $ graph: the peak is at $ x=-1 $, then at $ x = 0 $, it's 3? Wait, maybe my initial assumption about $ g(-2) $ is wrong. Wait, let's look at the $ g(x) $ graph again. The left - most point of $ g(x) $ is at $ x=-2 $, and the $ y $-value there is 0 (since it's on the x - axis). Then $ g(-2)=0 $. Then $ g(g(-2))=g(0) $. Now, from the $ g(x) $ graph, when $ x = 0 $, the $ y $-value is 3? Wait, no, the $ g(x) $ graph: the line from the peak (at $ x=-1 $, let's say $ y = 4 $) goes down to $ x = 2 $, $ y = 1 $. Wait, at $ x = 0 $, the $ y $-value: let's count the grid. If the peak is at $ x=-1 $, $ y = 4 $, then at $ x = 0 $, moving 1 unit to the right from $ x=-1 $, the $ y $-value decreases by 1? So $ g(0)=3 $. Wait, but maybe the peak is at $ x=-1 $, $ y = 4 $, then at $ x = 0 $, $ y = 3 $, at $ x = 1 $, $ y = 2 $, at $ x = 2 $, $ y = 1 $. So if $ g(-2)=0 $, then $ g(g(-2))=g(0)=3 $? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake in $ g(-2) $. Wait, the $ g(x) $ graph: the left - most point is at $ x=-2 $, and the $ y $-value is 0, then the line goes up to $ x=-1 $, $ y = 4 $, then down. So $ g(-2)=0 $, $ g(0)=3 $. But maybe the left - most point of $ g(x) $ is at $ x=-2 $, $ y = 0 $, so $ g(-2)=0 $, then $ g(g(-2))=g(0) $. From the $ g(x) $ graph, when $ x = 0 $, the $ y $-value is 3? Wait, no, let's check the original graph again. The $ g(x) $ graph: the left - most dot is at $ x=-2 $, $ y = 0 $, then a line to $ x=-1 $, $ y = 4 $, then a line to $ x = 2 $, $ y = 1 $. So at $ x = 0 $, which is between $ x=-1 $ and $ x = 2 $, the $ y $-value: the slope from $ x=-1 $ ( $ y = 4 $) to $ x = 2 $ ( $ y = 1 $) is $ \frac{1 - 4}{2-(-1)}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1 $. So the equation of the line from $ x=-1 $ to $ x = 2 $ is $ y-4=-1(x + 1) $, so $ y=-x + 3 $. When $ x = 0 $, $ y=-0 + 3=3 $. So $ g(0)=3 $. So $ g(g(-2))=3 $. Wait, but maybe the left - most point of $ g(x) $ is at $ x=-2 $, $ y = 0 $, so $ g(-2)=0 $, then $ g(0)=3 $.

But let's correct the first step for part (b). Wait, maybe the left - most point of $ g(x) $ is at $ x=-2 $, and the $ y $-value is 0, so $ g(-2)=0 $. Then $ g(g(-2))=g(0) $. From the $ g(x) $ graph, when $ x = 0 $, the $ y $-value is 3? Wait, no, the $ g(x) $ graph: at $ x = 0 $, the $ y $-value is 3? Wait, the peak is at $ x=-1 $, $ y = 4 $, then at $ x = 0 $, it's 3, at $ x = 1 $, it's 2, at $ x = 2 $, it's 1. So yes, $ g(0)=3 $. So $ g(g(-2))=3 $.
