C
Step-by-step explanation:
N = st
Number of toothpicks = (number of students) x (toothpicks)
Step-by-step explanation:
x²+4x=8
rearrange
x² + 4x - 8 = 0
half of 4 is 2
so
x² + 4x + 2² - 2² - 8 = 0
do x² + 4x + 2²
multiplies to give 4 adds to give 4
2+ 2
(x + 2)²
(x + 2)² - 2² - 8
(x + 2)² - 4 - 8
(x + 2)² - 12
(x + 2 + √12) (x + 2 - √12)
√12 = √4 * √3 = 2 √3
(x + 2 + 2√3) (x + 2 - 2√3)
Composition means that you can plug g(x) into f (x). This is written as "( f o g)(x)", which is pronounced as "f-compose-g of x". And "( f o g)(x)" means " f (g(x))". That is, you plug something in for x, then you plug that value into g, simplify, and then plug the result into f. hope this helps.
I think you need to make the 6 positive and then add it to 13 which would give you a=19
