Answer:
The perimeter of the larger polygon is 20 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that,
The ratio of the perimeters of two similar polygons is equal to the ratio of the corresponding sides of the polygons.
Here, the ratio of the corresponding sides of smaller and larger polygon is 2 : 5,
Also, given,
Perimeter of shorter polygon is 20 units,
Let x be the perimeter of the larger polygon,
By the above property,
( By cross multiplication )
Hence, the perimeter of the larger polygon is 20 units.

_______________
• Function: f(x) = 3x + 12.
A. Finding the inverse of f.
The composition of f with its inverse results in the identity function:
(f o g)(x) = x
f[ g(x) ] = x
3 · g(x) + 12 = x
3 · g(x) = x – 12
x – 12
g(x) = ⸺⸺

g(x) = ⸺ – 4 <——— this is the inverse of f.

C. Since f and g are inverse, then
f(g(– 2))
= (f o g)(– 2)
= – 2 <span>✔
</span>
• Call h the compositon of f and g. So,
h(x) = (f o g)(x)
h(x) = x
As you can see above, there is no restriction for h. Therefore, the domain of h is R (all real numbers).
I hope this helps. =)
