Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
first, put in (5x-4) for the x in g(x).
g(f(x))=(5x-4)^2 -1
now, FOIL and simplify.
25x^2-40x+16-1
25x^2-40x+15
now, plug in -1 for x.
25(-1)^2-40(-1)+15
25+40+15
80
Answer:
<u>36 tables are used to seat the students at the banquet: 12 rectangular and 24 round.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Round tables = 8 seats
Rectangular tables = 12 seats
Ratio of round tables to rectangular tables = 2:1
Number of students = 336
2. How many tables are used to seat 336 students at the banquet, if no table has an empty seat?
x = Number of rectangular tables
2x = Number of round tables
Let's solve for x, using this equation:
12x + 8 (2x) = 336
12x + 16x = 336
28x = 336
x = 336/28
x = 12 ⇒ 2x = 24
12 + 24 = 36
<u>36 tables are used to seat the students at the banquet: 12 rectangular and 24 round.</u>
