If F(x)=4x-1 and g(x)=x^2+7, what is g(f(x))
VashaNatasha [74]
Answer

g(f(x)) = = 16 {x}^{2} - 8x + 8

step by step Explanation

The functions given are

f (x)= 4x- 1

g(x)= {x}^{2} + 7

We want to find:

g(f (x))= g( 4x- 1)

This implies that

g(f (x))= ( (4x- 1)^{2} + 7)

Let us now simplify

( {a - b)}^{2} = {a}^{2} -2ab + {b}^{2}

This implies that

( (4x- 1)^{2} + 7) =( {(4x)}^{2} - 2(4x) \times 1 + 1

Combine the terms to get,

= 16 {x}^{2} - 8x + 1 + 7

= 16 {x}^{2} - 8x + 8

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2= (r+ 40 )^2$  

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a meteorologist is using a Doppler radar to find out the distance of the storm as it passes using a polar grid.

The origin of the radar screen is its center.

And the distance between each ring is 10 miles from the center.

So let :

r = radius

h and k = be the coordinates of the center.

So the equation of a circle is :

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2= r^2 $

Now the equation of the fourth circle when the radius changes by 10 miles is :

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2= (r+ 40 )^2$

Help me please! I need to find the answer for the angle indicated in bold!
bagirrra123 [75]

(x+ 63) + (x + 133) = 180 \\ 2x + 196 = 180 \\ 2x =  - 16 \\ x =  - 8 \\ so... \\ x + 133 = ( - 8 ) + 133  \\  = 125
