A.)(f-g)(3)
(f-g)
= 3x^2-(x-2/x)
=3x^2-x+2/x
=x(3x^2-x+2/x)
=3x^3-x^2+2

(f-g)(3)
=3(3x^3-x^2+2)
=9x^3-3x^2+6

B.)(f/g)(3)
(f/g)
=3x^2/(x-2/x)
=3x^2/(x(x-2/x))
=3x^2/(x^2-2)

(f/g)(3)
=3(3x^2/(x^2-2))
=9x^2/(x^2-2)

C.)(g of f)(3)
g(f(x))
=3x^2-2/3x^2
=3x^2(3x^2-2/3x^2)
9x^4-2

(g of f)(3)
=3(9x^4-2)
27x^3-6
