Answer:

A and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original expression is 3x+2(x-1)-4, so let's simplify it to obtain an equivalent expression:

First we destroy the parenthesis applying distributive property:

3x+2x-2-4, so option A is correct.

Then, add the similar terms (3x can be added with 2x and -2 can be added with -4):

5x-6, so option B is also correct.

C is not correct because 3(x-4) = 3x-12 ≠ 5x-6.

D is not correct because 3(x + 2) - 6 = 3x+6-6 = 3x ≠ 5x-6.

E is not correct because 6(x - 1) = 6x-6 ≠ 5x-6.

Then, correct options are A and B.

Find f(x) and g(x) so that the function can be described as y=f(g(x))<br> y=(9/x^2)+2
eduard

there are many combinations for it, but we can settle for say


\bf \begin{cases} f(x)=x+2\\[1em] g(x)=\cfrac{9}{x^2}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ (f\circ g)(x)\implies f(~~g(x)~~) \end{cases}\qquad \qquad f(~~g(x)~~)=[g(x)]+2 \\\\\\ f(~~g(x)~~)=\left[ \cfrac{9}{x^2} \right]+2\implies f(~~g(x)~~)=\cfrac{9}{x^2}+2

Plz help i need helppppppp
Goshia [24]

Answer:

1) 36

b) 5

c) 3.0

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The recursive formula that defines the given sequence is

a_1=12 \\  a_n=a_{n-1}+4.

That means we keep adding 4 to the subsequent terms:

The sequence will be:

12,16,20,24,28,32,36,...

Therefore the seventh term is 36.

2) The sequence is recursively defined by;

a_1=20\\  a_n=a_{n-1} - 5

This means, we have to keep subtracting 5 from the subsequent terms.

The sequence will be;

20,15,10,5,...

Therefore the fourth term is 5

3) The sequence is recursively defined by:

f(n+1)=f(n)+0.5

where f(1)=-1.5

This means that, the subsequent terms can be found by adding 0.5 to the previous terms.

The sequence will be:

-1.5,-1.0,-0.5,0,0.5,1,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0,....

Therefore f(10)=3.0
