The diameter of the semicircle is 16 feet.

He calculates that he needs to buy abut 25.12 feet of fencing.

To find amount of fencing we find the circumference of semicircle

Circumference of semicircle = \frac{1}{2}\pi d+d

Where d is the diameter of the circle

d= 16 given and value of pi is 3.14

Circumference of semicircle = \frac{1}{2}*3.14*16+16

=25.12 + 16 = 41.12 feet

Scott's calculation was wrong because he forgot to add the diameter d

Circumference of circle  is half way of circle plus the diameter of circle.

Correct amount of fencing = 41.12 feet

PLEASE LOOK at the photo and help me on these 2 questions :(!!!!!
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

1) f(g(2)) = 24

2) f(g(-1)) = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) GIven f(x) = x²+2x and g(x) = 2x

f(g(x)) = f(2x)

f(2x) = (2x)² + 2(2x)

f(2x) = 4x² + 4x

f(g(x)) = 4x² + 4x

f(g(2)) = 4(2)² + 4(2)

f(g(2)) = 16+8

f(g(2)) = 24

2) f(x) = x+1 and g(x) = 5x

f(g(x)) = f(5x)

f(5x)= 5x + 1

f(g(x)) = 5x + 1

f(g(-1)) = 5(-1) + 1

f(g(-1)) = -5+1

f(g(-1)) = -4

Simplify the expression below. 3x^2 - 5x^2 + 4x^2 <br><br> (Please explain how you get the answer)
Talja [164]

Answer:

The answer is -4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x^2 - 5x^2 + 4x^2

= -3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2

Combine like terms:

-3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2

(-3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2)

= -4x^2
