Answer:

\large\boxed{B.\ 4x^2-41x+105}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=4x-\sqrt{x}\\\\g(x)=(x-5)^2\\\\f(g(x))\to\text{put}\ x=(x-5)^2\ \text{to}\ f(x):\\\\f(g(x))=f\bigg((x-5)^2\bigg)=4(x-5)^2-\sqrt{(x-5)^2}\\\\\text{use}\\(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\sqrt{x^2}=|x|\\\\f(g(x)=4(x^2-2(x)(5)+5^2)-|x-5|\\\\x>5,\ \text{therefore}\ x-5>0\to|x-5|=x-5\\\\f(g(x))=4(x^2-10x+25)-(x-5)\\\\\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\f(g(x))=(4)(x^2)+(4)(-10x)+(4)(25)-x-(-5)\\\\f(g(x))=4x^2-40x+100-x+5\\\\\text{combine like terms}\\\\f(g(x))=4x^2+(-40x-x)+(100+5)\\\\f(g(x))=4x^2-41x+105

Answer: Option B

f(g(x)) = 4x^2 -41x + 105

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 functions

f(x) = 4x -\sqrt{x}

g(x) = (x-5)^2

We must find f(g(x))

To find this composite function enter the function g(x) within the function f(x) as follows

f(g(x)) = 4(g(x)) -\sqrt{(g(x))}

f(g(x)) = 4(x-5)^2 -\sqrt{(x-5)^2}

By definition \sqrt{a^2} = |a|

So

f(g(x)) = 4(x-5)^2 -|x-5|

Since x is greater than 5 then the expression (x-5)> 0.

Therefore we can eliminate the absolute value bars

f(g(x)) = 4(x-5)^2 -(x-5)

f(g(x)) = 4(x^2 -10x + 25) -(x-5)

f(g(x)) = 4x^2 -40x + 100 -x+5

f(g(x)) = 4x^2 -41x + 105

Lucy is tiling her bathroom. She buys white and blue tiles in the
balandron [24]

Answer:

£289.20

Step-by-step explanation:

13:2 = x:16 or 13/2 = x/16

cross multiply: 208 = 2x

simplify: x = 104

16 blue tiles x £2.80 each = £44.80

104 white tiles x £2.35 each = £244.40

44.80 + 244.40 = £289.20

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier.

here (h, k ) = (3, 1 ) , then

y = a(x - 3)² + 1

to find a substitute any other point on the graph into the equation.

using (0, 7 )

7 = a(0 - 3)² + 1 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

6 = a(- 3)² = 9a ( divide both sides by 9 )

\frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3} = a

y = \frac{2}{3} (x - 3)² + 1 ← in vertex form

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

the equation of a parabola in factored form is

y = a(x - a)(x - b)

where a, b are the zeros and a is a multiplier

here zeros are - 1 and 3 , the factors are

(x - (- 1) ) and (x - 3), that is (x + 1) and (x - 3)

y = a(x + 1)(x - 3)

to find a substitute any other point that lies on the graph into the equation.

using (0, - 3 )

- 3 = a(0 + 1)(0 - 3) = a(1)(- 3) = - 3a ( divide both sides by - 3 )

1 = a

y = (x + 1)(x - 3) ← in factored form
