For this case we have the following functions:

$f (x) = 4 - x ^ 2\\g (x) = 6x$

The first thing we must do for this case is to subtract both functions.

We have then:

$(g - f) (x) = g (x) - f (x)$

Substituting we have:

$(g - f) (x) = (6x) - (4 - x ^ 2)$

Rewriting we have:

$(g - f) (x) = x ^ 2 + 6x - 4$

Evaluating the obtained function for x = 3 we have:

$(g - f) (3) = (3) ^ 2 + 6 (3) - 4\\(g - f) (3) = 23$

Answer:

The value of the function evaluated at x = 3 is:

$(g - f) (3) = 23$

F(x) = -x² + 4
g(x) = 6x

(g - f)(3) = 6(3) - (-(3)² + 4)
(g - f)(3) = 18 - (-9 + 4)
(g - f)(3) = 18 - (-5)
(g - f)(3) = 18 + 5
(g - f)(3) = 23

If you are driving 20 meters per second, what would be the equivalent of that in miles per hour?

melomori [17]

$\frac{20 meters}{1 second} \frac{60 seconds}{1 minute} \frac{60 minutes}{1 hour}$

the fractions are set up so that each unit cancels out until its only meters/hour

you can multiply all the numerators together to get 72000 and all the denominators to get 1

72000 meters/1 hour

72000 meters in 1 hour

hope this helped

PLEASE HELP WITH THIS I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO SOLVE!!!!

VARVARA [1.3K]

Write the vertex form of the equation and find the necessary coefficient to make it work.
.. y = a*(x +3)^2 -2
.. = ax^2 +6ax +9a -2

You require the y-intercept to be 7. So, for x=0, you have
.. 9a -2 = 7
.. 9a = 9
.. a = 1

The equation you seek is
.. y = x^2 +6x +7

Please Help!! Use Euler’s formula to write in exponential form.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

C, $4e^{i(7\pi/4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To remind you, Euler's formula gives a link between trigonometric and exponential functions in a very profound way:

$e^{ix}=\cos{x}+i\sin{x}$

Given the complex number $2\sqrt{2}-2i\sqrt{2}$ , we want to try to get it in the same form as the right side of Euler's formula. As things are, though, we're unable to, and the reason for that has to do with the fact that both the sine and cosine functions are bound between the values 1 and -1, and 2√2 and -2√2 both lie outside that range.

One thing we could try would be to factor out a 2 to reduce both of those terms, giving us the expression $2(\sqrt{2}-i\sqrt{2})$

Still no good. √2 and -√2 are still greater than 1 and less than -1 respectively, so we'll have to reduce them a little more. With some clever thinking, you could factor out another 2, giving us the expression $4\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} -i\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)$ , and now we have something to work with.

Looking back at Euler's formula $e^{ix}=\cos{x}+i\sin{x}$ , we can map our expression inside the parentheses to the one on the right side of the formula, giving us $\cos{x}=\frac{\sqrt2}{2}$ and $\sin{x}=-\frac{\sqrt2}{2}$ , or equivalently:

$\cos^{-1}{\frac{\sqrt2}{2} }=\sin^{-1}-\frac{\sqrt2}{2} =x$

At this point, we can look at the unit circle (attached) to see the angle satisfying these two values for sine and cosine is 7π/4, so $x=\frac{7\pi}{4}$ , and we can finally replace our expression in parentheses with its exponential equivalent:

$4\left(\frac{\sqrt2}{2}-i\frac{\sqrt2}{2}\right)=4e^{i(7\pi/4)}$

Which is c on the multiple choice section.
