Answer:

“two negatives = positive” rule works for multiplication and division.

Step-by-step explanation:

-5 + (-3) example

imagine a number line with 0 in the center. From (0) You move left 5 places to (-5) on the number line. Now you move another 3 more to the left (-3) and land on (-8).

You are combining the negatives. I hope this helps.

F(x) = x + 4 and g(x) = 2x + 3, evaluate each expression.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

$15.~f(g(2))=\Large\boxed{11}\\$

$16.~g(f(2.5))=\Large\boxed{16}$

$17.~g(f(-5))=\Large\boxed{1}$

$18.~f(g(-5))=\Large\boxed{-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given information</h3>

$f(x)=x+4$

$g(x)=2x+3$

<h3>Question 15. f(g(2))</h3>

<u>Substitute values into the first function</u>

$g(2)=2(2)+3$

$g(2)=4+3$

$g(2)=7$

<u>Substitute the values of the first function into the second</u>

$f(g(2))=f(7)$

$f(7)=(7)+4$

$f(7)=\Large\boxed{11}$

<h3>Question 16. g(f(2.5))</h3>

<u>Substitute values into the first function</u>

$f(2.5)=(2.5)+4$

$f(2.5)=6.5$

<u />

<u>Substitute the values of the first function into the second</u>

$g(f(2.5))=g(6.5)$

$g(6.5)=2(6.5)+3$

$g(6.5)=13+3$

$g(6.5)=\Large\boxed{16}$

<h3>Question 17. g(f(-5))</h3>

<u>Substitute values into the first function</u>

$f(-5)=(-5)+4$

$f(-5)=-1$

<u>Substitute the values of the first function into the second</u>

$g(f(-5))=g(-1)$

$g(-1)=2(-1)+3$

$g(-1)=-2+3$

$g(-1)=\Large\boxed{1}$

<h3>Question 18. f(g(-5))</h3>

<u>Substitute values into the first function</u>

$g(-5)=2(-5)+3$

$g(-5)=-10+3$

$g(-5)=-7$

<u>Substitute the values of the first function into the second</u>

$f(g(-5))=f(-7)$

$f(-7)=(-7)+4$

$f(-7)=\Large\boxed{-3}$

Hope this helps!! :)

In a for loop, is it possible to use indexing?

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A for loop basically relies on repeating the same code for a pre-set number of times. During which you can make any code repeat inside of it, including indexing through a type of list. Many times a for-loop will use the indexes in a list to calculate the number of times that the loop has to repeat. This is usually done in order to search or apply changes in an array of other types of data structures that have countless values stored in it.
