Well, g o f(-2) can also be written as g(f(-2)). It means that you take the value you got by substituting -2 into the function f(x) and put that into g(x).
f(-2) = 3 - 2(-2) = 3 + 4 = 7
Now, you take that value you just got and use it in the function g(x).
g(7) = √7 <--- The square root of 7 is irrational, so you're done.

Method I
g(x) = âx and f(x) = 3 - 2x
so (g o f)(x) = â(3-2x)
Now (g o f)(-2) = â(3-2(-2))
= â(3+4) = â7
Method II
first find f(-2) and then put the value in g(x)
=> f(-2) = 3-2(-2) = 3+4 = 7
=> (g o f)(-2) = â7
