The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

(7s-2)+3+(s+3) = 52, or 8s+4 = 52.

Explanation:

Since s is the son's age, "two less than seven times" the son's age would be represented by 7s-2. To represent this in 3 years, we would add 3: (7s-2)+3. In 3 years, the son's age, s, would be represented by s+3. We are told that the sum of these ages will be 52; this gives us (7s-2)+3+(s+3) = 52.

To simplify this, combine like terms. 7s+s = 8s; -2+3+3 = 4. This gives us 8s+4=52.

Let f(x)=2x+3 and g(x)=x×x-1<br>find a. f(g(x)) b.g(f(x))<br><br>​
Talja [164]

Answer:

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions f(x)=2x+3 and g(x)=x^2-1

a. Find f(g(x))

f(g(x)) = f(x^2-1)

f(g(x)) = 2(x^2-1)+3

f(g(x))= 2x^2-2+3

f(g(x)) = 2x^2+1

Hence the composite function f(g(x)) is 2x^2+1

b) g(f(x)) = g(2x+3)

g(f(x) = (2x+3)^2-1

g(f(x)) = 4x^2+12x+9-1

g(f(x)) = 4x^2+12x+8
