Answer:

\large\boxed{34}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 - 2

g(x) = 3x

(fog)(2)

Find g(2)

g(x) = g(2)

x=2

3x = 3(2) = 6

g(2) = 6

Find f(6)

f(x) = x^2-2

Substitute

f(6) = x^2 - 2

x^2 - 2 = 6^2 - 2

36 - 2 = 34

\large\boxed{34}

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

\boxed{f(6) = 34}

Step-by-step explanation:

Composition of functions occurs when we have two functions normally written similar or exactly like f(x) & g(x) - you can have any coefficients to the (x), but the most commonly seen are f(x) and g(x). They are written as either f(g(x)) or (f o g)(x). Because our composition is written as (f \circ g)(2), we are replacing the x values in the g(x) function with 2 and simplifying the expression.

g(2) = 3(2)

g(2) = 6

Now, because we are composing the functions, this value we have solved for now replaces the x-values in the f(x) function. So, f(x) becomes f(6), and we use the same manner as above to simplify.

f(6) = (6)^2-2

f(6) = 36-2

f(6) = 34

Therefore, when we compose the functions, our final answer is \bold{f(6) = 34}.

Aubrey finished 2/9 of a project on Monday and 1/4 of the project of Tuesday. How much of the project has Aubrey completed?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

17/36

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find a common denominator, so the first common denominator for 4 and 9 is 36. 9x4=36, so we multiply 2 by 4, which equals 8. 4x9-36, so we multiply the 1 by 9, and get 9. Then we add the numerators, 8 and 9, and get 17. So it's 17/36

A store is having a closing sale. All items in the store are 35% off. Samantha found a jacket she wants to buy with an original
laila [671]

Answer:

The final price paid by Samantha is 55.25 $

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out the final price of the jacket for Samantha we need to calculate how much 35% of 85 $ is and subtract the original price by it. So we have:

price of discount = 85*(35%) = 85*(35/100) = 85*(0.35) = 29.75 $

Now we can compute the final price by subtracting the original price by the price of discount. So we have:

final price = original price - price of discount = 85 - 29.75 = 55.25 $
