The answer is a. -7
1. Find g(2).
2. Find f(g(2)).
g(x) = x² - 6x - 7
x = 2 ⇒ g(2) = ?
g(2) = 2² - 6·2 - 7 = 4 - 12 - 7 = -15
2. f(x) = x + 8
g(2) = -15
f(g(2)) = f(-15) = -15 + 8 = -7
Answer: The area of Rhode Island is about 1,212 square miles
Answer:
x=41
Step-by-step explanation:
so since this is a right triangle you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side. the two sides you know are 'a' and 'b' and the missing side is 'c'. the theorem says that:
a^2+b^2=c^2
so:
9^2 +40^2=c^2
solve for the exponents:
81 +1600=c^2
1681=c^2
and now, since 1681 is the missing side's length squared, we must find the square root of 1681, which is 41
hope this helps :)
