Final Answer: \((f \circ g)(x) = \boxed{x^2 - 5}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The formula for \((f \circ g)(x)\), also known as the composition of functions f and g, is given by \(f(g(x))\). This means that we substitute \(g(x)\) into the function \(f(x)\). In this case, \(g(x) = x^2 - 2\), so we substitute this into \(f(x) = x - 3\) to get \((f \circ g)(x) = (x^2 - 2) - 3\).

Step 2 :Simplify the expression \((f \circ g)(x) = (x^2 - 2) - 3\) to get \((f \circ g)(x) = x^2 - 5\).

Step 3 :Final Answer: \((f \circ g)(x) = \boxed{x^2 - 5}\)
