To solve the expression \( h(-3) \cdot g(4) \), we'll first extract the given functions \( h(x) \) and \( g(x) \), and then evaluate them at \( x = -3 \) and \( x = 4 \), respectively.

### Step 1: Identify the functions

Based on the information provided:

- \( h(x) \) is given by the following set of values:
  \[
  h(x) = 
  \begin{cases} 
  33 & \text{if } x = -8 \\
  -3 & \text{if } x = 2 \\
  -4 & \text{if } x = -4 \\
  7 & \text{if } x = -3 \\
  6 & \text{if } x = 7 
  \end{cases}
  \]
  
- \( g(x) = 3x^2 - 2x + 2 \)

### Step 2: Find \( h(-3) \)

From the table of values for \( h(x) \), we see that:
\[
h(-3) = 7
\]

### Step 3: Find \( g(4) \)

Now, substitute \( x = 4 \) into the function \( g(x) \):
\[
g(4) = 3(4)^2 - 2(4) + 2
\]
First, calculate the powers and products:
\[
g(4) = 3(16) - 8 + 2 = 48 - 8 + 2 = 42
\]

### Step 4: Multiply \( h(-3) \) and \( g(4) \)

Now, multiply the results:
\[
h(-3) \cdot g(4) = 7 \cdot 42 = 294
\]

Thus, the simplified form of \( h(-3) \cdot g(4) \) is \( 294 \).
