Answer:

  68

Step-by-step explanation:

Any function is evaluated by putting the argument value where the variable is, then doing the arithmetic. When the argument is another function value, that function value is evaluated first.

__

<h3>f∘g</h3>

The "o" in (fog) is a stand-in for the "ring operator" (∘) which is the operator used to signify a composition. A composition is evaluated right-to-left. That means (f∘g)(x) ≡ f(g(x)). The value of g(x) is found first, and is operated on by the function f.

Writing the composition in the form f(g(x)) lets you identify the layers of parentheses. As with any expression evaluation, the Order of Operations applies. It tells you to evaluate the expression in the innermost parentheses and work your way out.

<h3>g(-2)</h3>

To evaluate (f∘g)(-2) = f(g(-2)), we must first evaluate g(-2). That is ...

  g(x) = 5x +4

  g(-2) = 5(-2) +4 = -10 +4 = -6 . . . . . put -2 where x is, do the math

<h3>f(g(-2))</h3>

Now that we know g(-2) = -6, we know this expression is ...

  f(-6) = 8 -10(-6) = 8 +60 = 68 . . . . . substitute for x in 8-10x

Then the value we're looking for is ...

  (f∘g)(-2) = 68

given that sin theta= 1/4, 0 is less than theta but less than pi/2, what is the exact value of cos theta
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

\cos{\theta} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

For any angle \theta, we have that:

(\sin{\theta})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1

Quadrant:

0 \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2} means that \theta is in the first quadrant. This means that both the sine and the cosine have positive values.

Find the cosine:

(\sin{\theta})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1

(\frac{1}{4})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1

\frac{1}{16} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1

(\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1 - \frac{1}{16}

(\cos{\theta})^{2} = \frac{16-1}{16}

(\cos{\theta})^{2} = \frac{15}{16}

\cos{\theta} = \pm \sqrt{\frac{15}{16}}

Since the angle is in the first quadrant, the cosine is positive.

\cos{\theta} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}

M is inversely proportional to r if m= 9 when r= 4 find m when r=2
bazaltina [42]

m=18 when r = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

m∝\frac{1}{r}

So,

m = k×\frac{1}{r},--------eq 1, here k is the constant.

To find the value of m when r = 2

At first we need to find the value of k

Solution

Now,

Putting the values of m=9 and r = 4 in eq 1 we get,

9 = \frac{k}{4}

or, k = 36

So, eq 1 can be written as m= \frac{36}{r}

Now, we put r =2

m = \frac{36}{2}

or, m= 18

Hence,

m=18 when r = 2.
