For this problem the information that
.

.
is extra information that you don't even need.
.
You are given:
.

.
and you are only asked to find . All this is telling you to do is to go to the equation
for g(x) and in that equation substitute 0 for every x. Then you just simplify it.
.
so go to the equation for :
.

.
Substitute 0 for every x in this equation and you have:
.

.
The multiplication of 2 times 0 results in zero, so the equation simplifies to:
.

.
and that's the answer for that you were asked to find.
.
Hope this helps you to understand what the problem was asking you to do and to see how to do it.
