Assuming g%28x%29=-x%5E2-2x-1, and you want to know g%283%29, then only needed is substitute 3 for x and then evaluate the function. Simple arithmetic.

"What is the answer?"

SUBSTITUTE AND DO THE ARITHMETIC !

Your post and your problem, as they worded, presented and written,  MAKE  NO  SENSE.

The formula for the function g(x) contain an error.

The question is not relevant to the "given" part.
