Answer:
fg(2) = 9 means that f(g(2)) = 9
We know that g(2) = 6
So f(6) = 9 which means that
6a - b = 9 (note 1)
And we know that g(f(1/2)) = 2
And we know that f(1/2) = 1/2(a) - b
So g(1/2(a) - b) = 2
Meaning that 1/2(a) - b + 4 = 2
So 1/2(a) - b = - 2 (note 2)
Using note 1 and 2 we can solve the equation
11/2(a) = 11 so a = 2 and b = 3

Answer:
Make use of the fact that as long as and :
.
.
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that and .
Make use of the fact that and to rewrite the given expression as a combination of and .
.
Since :
.
Substitute this equality into the expression:
.
By the Pythagorean identity, . Rearrange this identity to obtain:
.
Substitute this equality into the expression:
.
Again, make use of the fact that to obtain the desired result:
.
1.) 4(x+3)
Find the GCF, Greatest Common Factor, of 4x and 12.
4x=2*2*x
12=3*2*2
The greatest common factor is 4. Put this outside of the parentheses. (You would multiply the 2*2)
Then, put the rest of the factors as a sum. (Only the factors on the same line.)
Solution: 4(x+3)
To check, distribute to see if it works.
4x+12
2.) 2(4r+7)
Find the GCF of 8r and 14
8r=2*2*2*r
14= -1*7*2
The greatest common factor is 2. (There is only 1 two, so you would not multiply them.)
Then, put the rest of the factors as a sum. (Only the factors on the same line.)
Multiply the 2*2*r as one addend and the -1*7 as the other.
Solution: 2(4r-7)
To check, distribute to see if it works.
8r-14
Do you get it now?
3.) 5(x+7)
4.) 7(2x+1)
5.) Cannot be factored.
32x-15
Find the GCF of 32x and -15
32x: 2*2*2*2*2*x
-15: -1*5*3
Because there are no similar factors other than 1, it cannot be factored.
6.) 8(4x+3)
7.) 3(2x-3)
8.) 24(1x+2)
9.) 9(-2x+8)
10.) Cannot be factored
11.) 8(1x+3)
12.) 50(1x+5)
