These are "composite" functions.
g(x+a) means insert (x+a) into g(x) to replace every x:
g(x+a) - g(x) = -5(x+a)^2 +4(x+a) +5x^2 - 4x
= -5(x^2 + 2ax + a^2) +4x +4a + 5x^2 - 4x
Now just Multiply and sum up the answer.

Three moons are in the same circular orbit around a planet. The moons are each 115,000 kilometers from the surface of the planet

marshall27 [118]

275,000 km
The moons A, B, C form a right triangle with AC forming a hypotenuse with the diameter of the planet and the distance of both moons from the surface. So add A to the surface, plus the diameter of the planet, plus surface to c.
115000+45000+115000 = 275000

Break into 2 equatins to get x's:

2x-6<4 and 2x-6>-4

Solve for x in both:

2x-6<4
2x<10
x<5

2x-6>-4
2x>2
x>1

Graph both inequalities on the same number line:

Question 2 of 5

AlekseyPX

Given:

The different recursive formulae.

To find:

The explicit formulae for the given recursive formulae.

Solution:

The recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence is $f(n)=f(n-1)+d, f(1)=a,n\geq 2$ and the explicit formula is $f(n)=a+(n-1)d$ , where a is the first term and d is the common difference.

The recursive formula of a geometric sequence is $f(n)=rf(n-1), f(1)=a,n\geq 2$ and the explicit formula is $f(n)=ar^{n-1}$ , where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

The first recursive formula is:

$f(1)=5$

$f(n)=f(n-1)+5$ for $n\geq 2$ .

It is the recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence with first term 5 and common difference 5. So, the explicit formula for this recursive formula is:

$f(n)=5+(n-1)(5)$

$f(n)=5+5(n-1)$

Therefore, the correct option is A, i.e., $f(n)=5+5(n-1)$ .

The second recursive formula is:

$f(1)=5$

$f(n)=3f(n-1)$ for $n\geq 2$ .

It is the recursive formula of a geometric sequence with first term 5 and common ratio 3. So, the explicit formula for this recursive formula is:

$f(n)=5(3)^{n-1}$

Therefore, the correct option is F, i.e., $f(n)=5(3)^{n-1}$ .

The third recursive formula is:

$f(1)=5$

$f(n)=f(n-1)+3$ for $n\geq 2$ .

It is the recursive formula of an arithmetic sequence with first term 5 and common difference 3. So, the explicit formula for this recursive formula is:

$f(n)=5+(n-1)(3)$

$f(n)=5+3(n-1)$

Therefore, the correct option is D, i.e., $f(n)=5+3(n-1)$ .

The circumference of a circle is 138.16 centimeters. What is the area of the circle?

vodomira [7]

Circumference formula tells you $C=2 \pi r$

 $C=2 \pi r$
 $138.16=2 \pi r$
 $21.99= r$
 $r=21.99cm$ 
The formula to find the area of a circle is $A= \pi r^2$

 $A= \pi r^2$
 $A= \pi (21.99)^2$
 $A= \pi (483.56)$
 $A= 1519cm^2$
