Because you didn't use parenthesis on g(x), it's hard to know if it is
or
but I'm going to guess the first one.
(f∘g)(0) means f(g(0)) so the first step is to determine g(0) and then plug the results into f(x).
Because g(x) = -(2/3)x + 1, g(0) = -(2/3)(0) + 1 = 1
Because f(x) = -x2 + 2x - 1, then f(g(0)) = f(1) = -(1)2 + 2(1) - 1 = -1 + 2 - 1 = 0
