Hello there!
I'm assuming since there is no question, that you want an explanation for composite functions.
Today, I want to introduce you to a very new way of looking at functions. Think of a function as a machine. I'll call this machine f. When you plug something into this machine, it is an x-value. The machine changes the x-value into a new value which is called a y-value. This is how a function works.
With composite functions though, things get a little bit tricky. To make f(g(x)), you need to plug in x into the g machine, and it will give you an output. (y-value) The next thing you do is take that y-value and plug it into the g machine. The g machine then gives you a new value. This value is f(g(x)).
Let's do an example together...
f(x)=3x and g(x)=x²+4
if we want f(g(x)), first plug in x to the g machine. when plugging in x to the g machine, we get x²+4 as given in the question.
Now we must plug in g(x) into the f machine. Since g(x) is x²+4, we just replace x with x²+4.
We get 3(x²+4)
This means that f(g(x))=3(x²+4)
NOTE: If you are seeking help with an actual question, please message me in the comments and I will assist you shortly!
I hope this helps!
Best wishes :)
Answer:
7, -7
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2-6.5= 42.5 add 6.5 to both sides
x^2= 49
The square root of 49 is 7 and -7.
Answers:
- Translation 3 units up
- k = 3
============================================================
Explanation:
The y intercept of the black f(x) curve is at (0,1)
The y intercept of the blue curve is at (0,4)
To go from y = 1 to y = 4, we add 3
So we shift 3 units up to go from the f(x) curve to the g(x) curve.
The value of k is 3, which corresponds exactly to the vertical shift. If we shifted down, then k would be negative.
Hi! In geometry, two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other.<span>
