Answer:
1. 144 2. 16 3. 1 4. 3x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
So think of this as a function in a function. So you work from the inside to the outside. So for problem 1, we start with f(4)) [you read it "f of 4"] so what is the solution when x = 4, since f(x) means the function of x so f(4) means 'the function of 4' inside f(x).
Since f(x) = 3x then f(4) = 3(4) [notice how you substitute the 4 everywhere you see a letter x]
so f(4) = 12, now you work the next part h(f(4)) since f(4)=12 then h(12)
So take the h(x) function which is h(x) =
then h(12) =
so h(12) = 144
i believe it would be 5.25
12-5=7
7*12=84
84/ 16 = 5.25
i hope this helps
Answer:
Explanation:
The function that represents the number of E.coli bacteria cells per 100 mL of water as the time t years elapses is:
The base, 1.123, represents the multiplicative constant rate of change of the function, so you just must substitute 1 for t in the power part of the function:
Then, the multiplicative rate of change is 1.590, which means that every year the number of E.coli bacteria cells per 100 mL of water increases by a factor of 1.590, and that is 1.59 - 1 = 0.590 or 59% increase.
