Answer:
-6/5
Step-by-step explanation:
-5-1 / 0-(-5)
Answer:
a < -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so we are given this equation:
t(x) = ax^5 + 2
Lets plug in -2 as x and see what happens.. t(x) can be 66..
= 66
-32a + 2 = 66
-32a = 64
a = -2
A is less than -1,
a < -1
Answer:
4x^2 - 4x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2x - 1
g(x) = x^2 - 4
g(f(x)) = ?
[substitute the x of g(x) with f(x)]
g(x) = x^2 - 4
g(f(x)) = (2x - 1)^2 - 4
[solve]
[binomial * binomial = quadratic equation]
[use FOIL method (first, outer, inner, last)]
g(f(x)) = (2x - 1)(2x - 1) - 4
g(f(x)) = (2x*2x) + (-2x) + (-2x) + (1) - 4
[combine like terms]
g(f(x)) = 4x^2 - 2x - 2x + 1 - 4
g(f(x)) = 4x^2 - 4x - 3
