g(x)=x^(2)-5_g(0.5)
Evaluate g(0.5) by replacing x with 0.5 in the function.
g(0.5)=(0.5)^(2)-5
Simplify the evaluated function.
g(0.5)=-4.75
Compose the result function for g by replacing the function designators with the actual functions.
(-4.75)
Remove the parentheses around the expression -4.75.
-4.75
