Answer:

f(x) * g(x) is 8x^2 + 8x -6

f(x) - g(x) is -2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding the answer, we can notice they already give the values for the needed answers.

The first one requires f(x) and g(x). At the beginning of the question it shows that f(x) is equal to 2x+3. Meaning we can plug in 2x+3 for f(x).

The same goes for g(x). At the begginning of the question, it shows that g(x) is equal to 4x-2. Meaning we can plug in 4x-2 for g(x).

f(x) * g(x)

(2x+3) * (4x-2)

To find the answer, we need to distibute the 2x+3 into 4x-2.

To distribute, we do :

2x * (4x-2) + 3 * (4x-2)

First we distribute the 2x

2x * 4x = 8x^2 and 2x * -2 = -4x

8x^2 - 4x

Next we distibute the 3

3 * 4x = 12x and 3 * -2 = -6

12x - 6

Now we can combine them by adding like terms to get the asnwer:

8x^2 = 8x^2

-4x + 12x = 8x

-6 = -6

The first answer is 8x^2 + 8x -6

Second question:

Since we already know the values for f(x) and g(x), all we have to do is plug in the values.

(2x+3) - (4x-2)

This time, since we are subtracting, all we have to do is subtract like terms.

2x - 4x = -2x

3 - (-2) = 5

The second answer is -2x + 5

notka56 [123]

Consecutive even integers are 2 apart
they are
x,x+2,x+4
total sum is 60
x+x+2+x+4=60
3x+6=60
minus 6 both sides
3x=54
divide both sides by 3
x=18
x+2=20
x+4=22

the ages are
18,20,22

A dolphin is 42 feet underwater and ascends at a constant rate for 14 seconds until it reaches the surface. Identify and interpr

Cloud [144]

Ok so, based on the graph lets say that x = seconds and y = depth of dolphin. the interception in both points is when they are at 0 i.e when x is equals 0 and y equals 0. So At 0 seconds, the dolphin is 42 feet below the surface. So we say that x = 0, y = -42 and then the y intercepts = -42 so the point of interception is(0 (seconds),-42(depth of the dolphin)) When the clock says it's 14 seconds, the dolphin is even with the surface (0 below the surface this time). So we say that x = 14, y = 0. In this case The x intercept = 14 (14,0). But we need to calculate The slope with the formula= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = 42/14 = 3. Therefore, the formula for this line is y = 3x - 42.

saveliy_v [14]

You need to set it up like this: Initial amount ( 1 - Depreciation Rate) ^ Time in years. So: 5000(1-0.18)^4 = 5000(0.82)^4=2260.6088, rounded to the nearest cent is $2260.61.

Find the slope line that goes through the following points

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the slope m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

(4)

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 1) ← 2 points from table

m = $\frac{-1+4}{3-0}$ = $\frac{3}{3}$ = 1 → B
