Answer:
See explanations below
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the functions f(x)=2x+3 and g(x)=x^2-1
a. Find f(g(x))
f(g(x)) = f(x^2-1)
f(g(x)) = 2(x^2-1)+3
f(g(x))= 2x^2-2+3
f(g(x)) = 2x^2+1
Hence the composite function f(g(x)) is 2x^2+1
b) g(f(x)) = g(2x+3)
g(f(x) = (2x+3)^2-1
g(f(x)) = 4x^2+12x+9-1
g(f(x)) = 4x^2+12x+8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The equation of a exponential growth function is given by
where
y is the population of rabbits
x is the number of years since 1991
a is the initial value
r is the rate of change
we have
substitute
For the year 1998
the number of years is equal to
x=1998-1991=7 years
so
we have the ordered pair (7,18,000)
substitute in the exponential equation and solve for r
elevated both sides to 1/7
therefore
Predict the population of rabbits in the year 2006
Find the value of x
x=2006-1991=15 years
substitute the value of x in the equation
Well Okay, 1.70 x 6 + .90x, Your pretty much taking 1.70 multiply by 6 then adding .90 for every page after.
Exponential functions are related to logarithmic functions in that they are inverse functions. Exponential functions move quickly up towards a [y] infinity, bounded by a vertical asymptote (aka limit), whereas logarithmic functions start quick but then taper out towards an [x] infinity, bounded by a horizontal asymptote (aka limit).
If we use the natural logarithm (ln) as an example, the constant "e" is the base of ln, such that:
ln(x) = y, which is really stating that the base (assumed "e" even though not shown), that:
if we try to solve for y in this form it's nearly impossible, that's why we stick with ln(x) = y
but to find the inverse of the form:
switch the x and y, then solve for y:
So the exponential function is the inverse of the logarithmic one, f(x) = ln x
