To find $ ( g a ) ( 3 ) $, we first find $ g(3) = 8 $ from the second table. Then, we find $ a(8) $, but since there's no function $ a $, it's assumed to be $ f $, so $ f(8) = 15 $ from the first table. However, the correct process should be $ g(3) = 8 $, then find $ f(8) $, which is actually $ 15 $, indicating a mistake in the explanation process. The correct answer should be derived from correctly interpreting the function composition $ g \circ a $ or $ g(a(x)) $, but given the tables and the mistake in explanation, the correct interpretation of finding $ ( g a ) ( 3 ) $ involves first applying $ g $ to 3, which is $ 8 $, and then applying $ f $ to the result, which should correctly lead to the value associated with $ f(8) $. However, the initial explanation incorrectly concludes the final answer without correctly following through the function composition steps based on the provided tables.
