1. **State the problem:**
We are given two functions $g(x)$ and $h(x)$ (not explicitly stated here, but implied) and asked to find the expression for the composition $gh(x) = g(h(x))$ in simplest form.
2. **Write the expression for $gh(x)$:**
The composition $gh(x)$ means we apply $h$ first, then apply $g$ to the result:
$$gh(x) = g(h(x))$$
3. **Simplify the expression:**
Since the explicit forms of $g(x)$ and $h(x)$ are not provided in the question, we cannot simplify further without them.
4. **Find $g^{-1}(-2)$:**
This means find the value of $x$ such that:
$$g(x) = -2$$
5. **Solve for $x$:**
Without the explicit form of $g(x)$, we cannot solve for $x$.
**Summary:**
- To write $gh(x)$, substitute $h(x)$ into $g$.
- To find $g^{-1}(-2)$, solve $g(x) = -2$ for $x$.
Since the functions $g$ and $h$ are not given, the problem cannot be completed further.
**Final answers:**
- $gh(x) = g(h(x))$ (simplify when $g$ and $h$ are known)
- $g^{-1}(-2)$ is the $x$ such that $g(x) = -2$ (solve when $g$ is known)
