to start with the innermost function Well the function notation
- 00:29
g of negative to tells us to input the value
- 00:31
Negative too for why in the equation given for g
- 00:34
of why so g of negative too is negative Three
- 00:37
time thinking of two which is just six So since
- 00:39
g of negative two is six we're gonna replace the
- 00:42
innermost function with that value So stick a six right
- 00:45
in there The problems should no longer read half of

jesus Avner You're too but rather looking more presentable as
- 00:51
f of six So next we find the value of

f of six which is well Mm six is six
