so ive got the functions f and g and i have to solve for question 21.
21-26 ■ use function f(x)=x3-5, and g(x)= 2-x2 to evaluate the expression.
21. a) f(g(0))

can anyone tell me how'd they get 1 as an answer for this question i guess what i'm trying to say is where did the squared x go?

Work from the inside bracket outwards: f(g(0)) = f(2) .... since g(0)=2=0^2=2. Now work out f(2).
