Step-by-step explanation:

with your square root symbol I never know what is inside the square root and what is possibly outside.

so, I can only guess and see what comes close.

f(x) = 2x² + x - 1

g(x) = sqrt(2x - 1) ??? is that so ?

h(x) = -2

2g(f(x)) + h(x)

g(f(x)) means that the whole f(x) expression is used as x in g(x).

the whole combined function is then

2×sqrt(2(2x² + x - 1) - 1) - 2

2×sqrt(4x² + 2x - 2 - 1) - 2

2×sqrt(4x² + 2x - 3) - 2

and if I am not mistaken, then this is the solution you mentioned at the beginning (if I try to read between the typos and missing info).

this is how people get to this.

do you understand it now ? or is there still something unclear ?

All are equivalent except x<-2, x-2<4, 2x<-4, x-2<-4 ?

m_a_m_a [10]

To figure out which is not equivalent to the others,, we must solve each option provided. x < -2 is already solved,, so there is no need to do any work that option.
The first step for solving x - 2 < 4 is to move the constant to the right side and then change its sign.
x < 4 + 2
Now add the numbers together to get your final answer.
x < 6
This means that we have one option that equals x < -2 and one option that equals x < 6.
Let's now solve 2x < -4 to see what that one equals. In order to solve this,, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by 2.
x < -2
Now we can see that it looks like all of the expressions are equivalent except for x - 2 < 4. Before we can confirm this though,, let's solve for x - 2 < -4. The first step for solving this is to move the constant to the right side and change its sign.
x < -4 + 2
Now calculate the sum of these two numbers to get your final answer.
x < -2
This tells us that all of the options are equivalent except for x - 2 < 4,, or option B.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

If a train travel a 200 miles in 2.5 hours what is the rate of speed

ivanzaharov [21]

Do distance divided by time to get the speed.
200 / 2.5 = 80.
The speed is 80 miles per hour(mph).

Hope this helps :)

Factor 81z^4 - 16 Please answer asap

Oksanka [162]

81x%5E4-16 Start with the given expression.

%289x%5E2%29%5E2-16 Rewrite 81x%5E4 as %289x%5E2%29%5E2.

%289x%5E2%29%5E2-%284%29%5E2 Rewrite 16 as %284%29%5E2.

Notice how we have a difference of squares A%5E2-B%5E2 where in this case A=9x%5E2 and B=4.

So let's use the difference of squares formula A%5E2-B%5E2=%28A%2BB%29%28A-B%29 to factor the expression:

A%5E2-B%5E2=%28A%2BB%29%28A-B%29 Start with the difference of squares formula.

%289x%5E2%29%5E2-%284%29%5E2=%289x%5E2%2B4%29%289x%5E2-4%29 Plug in A=9x%5E2 and B=4.

So this shows us that 81x%5E4-16 factors to %289x%5E2%2B4%29%289x%5E2-4%29.

In other words 81x%5E4-16=%289x%5E2%2B4%29%289x%5E2-4%29.

Now let's factor 9x%5E2-4 further

-------------------------------------

9x%5E2-4 Start with the given expression.

%283x%29%5E2-4 Rewrite 9x%5E2 as %283x%29%5E2.

%283x%29%5E2-%282%29%5E2 Rewrite 4 as %282%29%5E2.

Notice how we have a difference of squares A%5E2-B%5E2 where in this case A=3x and B=2.

So let's use the difference of squares formula A%5E2-B%5E2=%28A%2BB%29%28A-B%29 to factor the expression:

A%5E2-B%5E2=%28A%2BB%29%28A-B%29 Start with the difference of squares formula.

%283x%29%5E2-%282%29%5E2=%283x%2B2%29%283x-2%29 Plug in A=3x and B=2.

So this shows us that 9x%5E2-4 factors to %283x%2B2%29%283x-2%29.

In other words 9x%5E2-4=%283x%2B2%29%283x-2%29.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So 81x%5E4-16 completely factors to %289x%5E2%2B4%29%283x%2B2%29%283x-2%29

If 2 dice are rolled at the same time, what is the probability of the 2 dice having the same face

statuscvo [17]

Total number of possible results of rolling 2 dice = 6 x 6 = 36

Total number of ways they can both show the same face = 6

Probability of showing the same face = 6/36 = 1/6 = 16 and 2/3 percent.
