It could be anything I would like it to be until you provide a definition of the function 
.
But once you have defined , then you can calculate the value )
. Then you plug that value into 
and calculate the result.
For example, let's say that \ =\ x^2\ +\ 2x\ -\ 5)
and \ =\ x\ -\ 3)
. And let's say that we want to know the value of \))
First, calculate )
. \ =\ 5\ -\ 3\ =\ 2)
. Then calculate \ =\ (2)^2\ +\ 2(2)\ -\ 5\ =\ 3)
.
You could also define \))
in general by
\)\ =\ (x\ -\ 3)^2\ +\ 2(x\ -\ 3)\ -\ 5)
\ +\ 2x\ -\ 6\ -\ 5)
Then
\)\ =\ (5)^2\ -\ 4(5)\ -\ 2)
As we would expect given our earlier result.
