<span>If f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = (x - 3)/2, what is the value of f[g(-5)]? f[g(-5)] means substitute -5 for x in the right side of g(x), simplify, then substitute what you get for x in the right side of f(x), then simplify. It's a "double substitution". To find f[g(-5)], work it from the inside out. In f[g(-5)], do only the inside part first. In this case the inside part if the red part g(-5) g(-5) means to substitute -5 for x in g(x) = (x - 3)/2 So we take out the x's and we have g( ) = ( - 3)/2 Now we put -5's where we took out the x's, and we now have g(-5) = (-5 - 3)/2 Then we simplify: g(-5) = (-8)/2 g(-5) = -4 Now we have the g(-5)] f[g(-5)] means to substitute g(-5) for x in f[x] = 2x + 3 So we take out the x's and we have f[ ] = 2[ ] + 3 Now we put g(-5)'s where we took out the x's, and we now have f[g(-5)] = 2[g(-5)] + 3 But we have now found that g(-5) = -4, we can put that in place of the g(-5)'s and we get f[g(-5)] = f[-4] But then f(-4) means to substitute -4 for x in f(x) = 2x + 3 so f(-4) = 2(-4) + 3 then we simplify f(-4) = -8 + 3 f(-4) = -5 So f[g(-5)] = f(-4) = -5</span>

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

$1.25 & $10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c be the cost of renting one chair and t be the cost of renting table. We're given two equations:

#1. 5c + 3t = 37

#2. 2c + 6t =64

We have a system of equations. Using our system of equations calculator, we can solve this problem any of 3 ways below:

  • Chairs (c) cost $1.25
  • Tables (t) cost $10.25

If f(x) = x ² +1 and g(x) =3x+ 1,find [f(4)] ²
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

289

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't need g at all for this.

We will need to know f(4) before continuing...

f(4) can be found by replacing x in f(x)=x^2+1 with 4:

f(4)=4^2+1

f(4)=16+1

f(4)=17

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

Now let's find [f(4)]^2:

[f(4)]^2

[17]^2

17(17)

Jay wrote an equation to determine sales tax on an item he wanted to buy. The equation was Y equals 0.0 9X, where Y represents t
mixas84 [53]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

y = 0.09x where:

  • x: represents the cost of the item before tax is added.
  • y: represents the amount of sales

=> On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled Cost of Item (in dollars) and the y-axis is labeled sales tax (in dollars)

We create a table of values

x    y

0   0

10  0.9

=> the line go through two points (0, 0) and (10, 0.9)

Hence tow dwaw a graph, we just connect two points together.

Please have a look at the attached photo.

yan [13]

Answer:

The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try!

3y=-2x+1,470

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

3 3

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

y=-2x+490

2. rise

-----

run

y=-2

1

Find 490 and either go up 2 down 1 or down 2 up 1 either way you will get a straight line.

3. f(x)=2x+490

Don-t know how to explain this :(

I'm confused after this question

Hope this helped a little
