Answer:

$(f\circ g)(2)=16$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition composite function would be:

$(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))$

Then, if g(2)=3 and f(3)=16, therefore for f(g(x)):

$\begin{gathered} (f\circ g)(x)=f(g(2))=f(3) \\ \text{Hence,} \\ (f\circ g)(2)=16 \end{gathered}$

If y varies directly as x^2 and y=12 when x=2, find y when x=5

Shkiper50 [21]

$y=ax^2\\\\y=12\ \ \ and\ \ \ x=2\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ 12=a\cdot 2^2\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ a= \frac{4}{12}= \frac{1}{3} \\\\y=\frac{1}{3} x^2\\\\x=5\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ y=\frac{1}{3} \cdot5^2=\frac{25}{3} =8\frac{1}{3}$

Of the students in your class, 12% are left-handed. What fraction of the students are left-handed? Are there more right-handed o

kvv77 [185]

The left-handed students
12% are left handed, percent means per hundred. Change percent into per 100.
12% = $\dfrac{12}{100}$

Then simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4
$\dfrac{12}{100}$
= $\dfrac{12:4}{100:4}$
= $\dfrac{3}{25}$
This is the fraction showing the proportion of the left-handed students

The right-handed students
Determine the fraction showing the proportion of the right-handed students
1 - the left-handed
= 1 - $\dfrac{3}{25}$

Equalize the denominator to 25
$\dfrac{25}{25} - \dfrac{3}{25}$

Simplify
$\dfrac{21}{25}$
This is the proportion of the right-handed students

<span>Are there more right-handed or left-handed students?
There are more right-handed students than the left-handed students, because 21/25 is more than 3/25</span>

If x+1 and x-1 are the factors of the polynomial ax^3 + x^2 - 2x +b,find the values of a and b

Nadusha1986 [10]

The polynomial remainder theorem says that dividing a polynomial $p(x)$ by $x-c$ leaves a remainder of $p(c)=0$ if $x-c$ is a factor of $p(x)$ . In this case, check $c=-1$ and $c=1$ .
