Answer
The function g(x)=x2 produces the following results:
For x=5: g(5)=52=25
For x=3: g(3)=32=9
For x=−6: g(−6)=(−6)2=36
For x=0: g(0)=02=0
Step 2
Write down the range of the function g(x), as shown in the diagram.

Answer
The range of the function g(x) includes all possible output values:
Range = { 0, 9, 25, 36, 49 }
Step 3
g(3^7) = 3^7 \times 3^7. Write 3^7 \times 3^7 in the form 3^n, where n ∈ N.

Answer
Using the property of exponents, we can combine the terms:
g(37)=37×37=37+7=314
