1. **State the problem:** We are given two functions: $g(x) = x + 3$ and $h(x) = x^2$. We need to calculate:
(i) $g(-5)$
(ii) $g(-7)$
(iii) $h(0)$
2. **Recall the formulas:**
- For $g(x)$, the formula is $g(x) = x + 3$.
- For $h(x)$, the formula is $h(x) = x^2$.
3. **Calculate $g(-5)$:**
$$g(-5) = -5 + 3$$
$$= -2$$
4. **Calculate $g(-7)$:**
$$g(-7) = -7 + 3$$
$$= -4$$
5. **Calculate $h(0)$:**
$$h(0) = 0^2$$
$$= 0$$
**Final answers:**
(i) $g(-5) = -2$
(ii) $g(-7) = -4$
(iii) $h(0) = 0$
