To make a composition of a function you must plug one function into another, or on this case #f# into g.

#f(x)# = #6/x^2#

Plug in #f# for x in g, since

g(#6/x^2#) = #6/x^2# - 3

So, #g(f(x))# = #6/x^2# - 3

Practice exercises:

a) #f(g(x))#

b) #g(f(x))#

c) #f(g(-2))#

d). #g(f(7))#

Hopefully this helps.
