The value of (p*q)(5) and (q*p)(5) is 288

<h3>How to determine the composite functions?</h3>

The functions are given as:

p(x)=x+1

q(x)=2x^2-2

Calculate p(5) and q(5)

p(5)=5+1 = 6

q(5)=2(5)^2-2 = 48

The functions are then calculated as:

(p*q)(5) = p(5) * q(5)

(p*q)(5) = 6 * 48

(p*q)(5) = 288

Also, we have:

(q*p)(5) = (p*q)(5)

(q*p)(5) = 288

Hence, the value of (p*q)(5) and (q*p)(5) is 288

Eli and Karl each throw a basketball straight up in the air at the same time. Eli is standing on a deck and the height of his ba

tino4ka555 [31]

We are to find the time at which the height of basketball thrown by Eli and Karl is equal. We have the functions which model the heights of both basketballs. So by equating the functions representing the height of both basketballs we can find the value of x from that equation at which the height is same for both basketballs.

$-4.9 x^{2} +12x+2.5=-4.9 x^{2} +14x \\ \\ 
12x+2.5=14x \\ \\ 
2.5=2x \\ \\ 
x=1.25$

Thus after 1.25 seconds the height of basketballs thrown by Eli and Karl will be at the same height. This can be verified by finding the heights of both at x=1.25

For Eli:
$Height=f(1.25)=-4.9 (1.25)^{2}+12(1.25)+2.5=9.84375$

For Karl:
$Height=f(1.25)=-4.9 (1.25)^{2}+14(1.25)=9.84375$

Thus height of both basketball is equal after 1.25 seconds

What number must be added to the expression below to complete the<br> square?<br> x² - 18x

kiruha [24]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 81}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic is:

$ax^2+bx+c$

To complete the square, the a (leading coefficient) must be 1 and there can only be terms with variables on one side.

The expression given:

$x^2-18x$

follows these rules. Next, we divide the b (linear coefficient) by 2, then square it. Basically:

$(\frac{b}{2})^2$

The b in the expression is -18.

$(\frac{-18}{2})^2$

$(-9)^2= -9*-9= 81$

This is the number that is added.

For x = 4, then it means 3 to the fourth power or 3 times 3 times 3 times 3 times 3. 3^4 = 81 and 8 times that is 648.

y(x) = 8 * 3^x where x = 4:

y(x) = 8 * 3^4 = 8 * 81
y(x) = 648

The Function Rule then being that for every value of x there is one and only one value of y. y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable.
