Here is the link to a picture of the exercise I dont understand. Can you guys just do 1 and 2 and show me the step. Thanks

Thank yu for your help
I can't make out (a), but here's (b).....
g(f(-2)).......let's look at the f(-2) part, first.....this says to look for the associated y value where the x value for "f" = -2
So..... we go to x = -2 on the graph and look at the y value there for the graph of "f"...this is = 1 .......so f(-2) = 1 ....this makes sense.......(-2, 1) is a point on "f".......when x = -2, y = 1 ....!!!
And now we have g(f(-2)) = g(1)
And now we do the same thing, again.....we look at the graph of g where x = 1 and find the associated y value.....so......when the x value for "g" = 1, the associated y value = 5
And 5 is your final answer.......!!!
Hope this helps......!!!!

Do you mind doing C and D for further explanation. I understand but I still need more clarification. I dont understand when its the opposite f(g(1) or g(g(-2))
g (g(-2) )
Go to x = -2 on the graph........look at function g .....what is it's y value when x = -2??? → - 1 ....so....
g(-2) = -1
So ...... g(g(-2)) = g(-1) go to x = -1.....look at function g.....
what is its y value when x = -1???? → 1 and that's your answer
f(g(1))
Go to x = 1 on the graph.....look at function g.....what is its y value there?? → 5
So .....g(1) = 5
So......f(g(1)) = f(5) now go to x = 5 on the graph....look at function f......what is its y value there??? → - 6 and that's your answer
