Answer:
1st option
Step-by-step explanation:
to find f(g(x)) substitute x = g(x) into f(x) , that is
f(g(x))
= f(4x - 5)
= 2(4x - 5) + 1 ← distribute parenthesis
= 8x - 10 + 1
= 8x - 9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Method 1: Taking the log of both sides...
So take the log of both sides...
5^(2x + 1) = 25
log 5^(2x + 1) = log 25 <-- use property: log (a^x) = x log a...
(2x + 1)log 5 = log 25 <-- distribute log 5 inside the brackets...
(2x)log 5 + log 5 = log 25 <-- subtract log 5 both sides of the equation...
(2x)log 5 + log 5 - log 5 = log 25 - log 5
(2x)log 5 = log (25/5) <-- use property: log a - log b = log (a/b)
(2x)log 5 = log 5 <-- divide both sides by log 5
(2x)log 5 / log 5 = log 5 / log 5 <--- this equals 1..
2x = 1
x=1/2
Method 2
5^(2x+1)=5^2
2x+1=2
2x=1
x=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Shorter leg = 2.5 ft.
Longer leg = 6.5 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Because the hypotenuse = 7 ft, a^2 + b^2 = 49
To represent the two legs, we can use x and x+4.
x^2 + (x+4)^2 = 49
Simplifying this equation using FOIL gives us 2x^2 + 8x - 33 = 0.
Then, using the quadratic formula, we find that x = 2.5.
Thus, the shorter leg is 2.5 ft. and, when 4 is added, the longer leg is 6.5 ft.
