You need to determine a function h(x)h(x), such that f(x)f(x) is precisely the composition hg(x)hg(x).

You're told that g(x)=x2g(x) = x-2, and you found that f(x)=(x2)2+3f(x) = (x-2)^2 + 3.

So can you determine h(x)h(x) must be such that (x2)2+3=h(x2)(x-2)^2 + 3 = h(x-2) holds ??


If you still don't understand, then I'll rephrase it:
