The use of the symbol • in <span>(p•q)(x) is confusing.

You may be using it to indicate multiplication or to indicate composition of functions.

The operation and the results will be different in each case.

So, make sure that you interpret the problem correctly. I will do the problem for the two cases to help you.

1) if </span><span>• means multiplication:

</span>use the distributive property:

<span>(p•q)(x) = (2x^2 - 4x) (x - 3) = 2x^3 - 6x^2 - 4x^2 + 12 x = 2x^3 - 10x^2 + 12x

2) if </span><span>• means compositon of functions:

=> </span><span>(p•q)(x) = p [ q(x)] = p [ x -3] = 2 (x - 3)^2 - 4(x - 3)

= 2[x^2 - 6x + 9] - 4x + 12 = 2x^2 - 12x + 18 - 4x + 12 = 2x^2  - 16x + 30

Then, only make sure of the use of the symbol </span><span>• in (</span><span>p•q)(x) , which you can find in the context of the question.</span>

What is "a" if B=<br>is a singular matrix<br>| 2<br>2 a​
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The value of a=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the matrix

B=\begin{pmatrix}1\:&\:2\:\\ \:\:\:2\:&\:a\end{pmatrix}

  • A matrix is singular if its determinent is zero.

so solving the matrix B by taking its determinant to get the value a

\det \begin{pmatrix}1&2\\ 2&a\end{pmatrix}=0

as according to determinant formula

\det \begin{pmatrix}a\:&\:b\:\\ c\:&\:d\:\end{pmatrix}\:=\:ad-bc

 1\cdot \:a-2\cdot \:2=0    

  a-4=0

   a=4          

Therefore, the value of a=4

Kenneth solved a certain number of problems and Harold solved 2 more than twice as many. Together they
Inessa [10]

H(arold) = 2 + 2*K(enneth)

H = 2 + 2K

H + K = 38

Substitution:

2 + 2K + K = 38

3K = 36

K = 12

Kenneth solved 12 problems and Harold solved (2(12) + 2 = 24 + 2 =) 26 problems

If 8 is an element in the domain of ​f(x)=
EleoNora [17]

In Functions and Function Notation, we were introduced to the concepts of domain and range. In this section, we will practice determining domains and ranges for specific functions. Keep in mind that, in determining domains and ranges, we need to consider what is physically possible or meaningful in real-world examples, such as tickets sales and year in the horror movie example above. We also need to consider what is mathematically permitted. For example, we cannot include any input value that leads us to take an even root of a negative number if the domain and range consist of real numbers. Or in a function expressed as a formula, we cannot include any input value in the domain that would lead us to divide by 0.
