The notation is a little sketchy, but I think you mean f(x)*g(x), right?

We'll use the substitution property of equality. This states that for any x and y, if x = y, then we can use y in place of x, or x in place of y as needed.
Since f(x) = 2x + 5, we can replace f(x) with 2x + 5. We can also replace g(x) with 3x - 4.

To find f(x) * g(x), make the necessary replacements:
f(x) * g(x)
=(2x + 5)*(3x-4). Now FOIL it out:
=6x2 -8x + 15x - 20
=6x2 + 7x - 20. Right

(g-f)(x) = g(x) - f(x) = (-3x-4) - (-x+2)
(-3x-4) - (-x+2)
-3x-4 - (-x+2)
Distribute the negative to -x and +2
-3x-4 - (-x+2)
-3x+4 + x - 2
Combine like terms
-3x +x -2 + 4
-2x + 2
(g-f)(x) = -2x + 2

Write an expression in factored form to represent the volume in the canister not occupied by the tennis balls.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

$\implies V=\pi r^2(h-4 r)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the canister LESS the volume of 3 tennis balls:

$V=\pi r^2h-3\left(\dfrac43\pi r^3\right)$

Expand brackets:

$\implies V=\pi r^2h-4\pi r^3$

Factor:

$\implies V=\pi r^2(h-4 r)$

What would be the radius of a circle with a diameter of 8 inches?

sukhopar [10]

Since radius of a circle is half of the diameter of the circle
so the radius is 4 inches
and 1 inch=2.54 cm so radius=10.16cm

Write the following expression without using<br> negative exponents.

solmaris [256]

Option B:

$$\frac{9{s^2} }{4 {m^3} {p^6}}$

Solution:

Given expression:

$$\frac{9 m^{-3} p^{-6}}{4 s^{-2}}$

To write this expression without negative exponents:

$$\frac{9 m^{-3} p^{-6}}{4 s^{-2}}$

Using exponent rule: $a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}$

$$m^{-3}=\frac{1}{m^3}$

$$p^{-6}=\frac{1}{p^6}$

$$s^{-2}=\frac{1}{s^2}$

Substitute these in the expression.

$$\frac{9 m^{-3} p^{-6}}{4 s^{-2}}=\frac{9 \frac{1}{m^3} \frac{1}{p^6} }{4 \frac{1}{s^2} }$

Denominator of fraction in denominator goes to numerator.

Denominator of fraction in numerator goes to denominator.

Therefore, $s^2$ goes to numerator and $m^3p^6$ goes to denominator.

$$=\frac{9 \times {s^2} }{4 {m^3}\times{p^6}}$

$$=\frac{9{s^2} }{4 {m^3} {p^6}}$

Option B is the correct answer.

$$\frac{9 m^{-3} p^{-6}}{4 s^{-2}}=\frac{9{s^2} }{4 {m^3} {p^6}}$

50Points Plato Help!!

lukranit [14]

T(x) calculates the number of teams and F(x) calculates the entry fees.

To find the total entry fee, you would add the entry fee for each team together, so you need to add T(x) and F(x) together.

The answer would be C. R(x) = 9x +69
