Question
### Problem 19:

**Given:**

\( f(x) = 3x^2 - 15 \)  
\( g(x) = 1 - \frac{2}{3}x \)  

**Task:**

Find \( (f \circ g)(x) \) evaluated at \( x = 6 \).

**Choices:**

- A. 57
- B. 60
- C. -48
- D. -61
- E. All of the Above
- F. None of the Above

**Solution Explanation:**

1. **Compute \( g(6) \):**

   \[
   g(x) = 1 - \frac{2}{3} \times x 
   \]

   Substitute \( x = 6 \):

   \[
   g(6) = 1 - \frac{2}{3} \times 6 = 1 - 4 = -3
   \]

2. **Compute \( f(g(6)) = f(-3) \):**

   \[
   f(x) = 3x^2 - 15
   \]

   Substitute \( x = -3 \):

   \[
   f(-3) = 3(-3)^2 - 15 = 3 \times 9 - 15 = 27 - 15 = 12
   \]

Therefore, the correct answer is **not listed as a choice** under options A to D, and does not fit the criteria for E.

**Answer:**

F. None of the Above
