Answer:
F=4
Step-by-step explanation:
The question regards composite functions. A composite function is a function composed of more than one function. Sorry for saying the word function so many times there, it's just what it is...
The phrase f(g(x)) means 'perform g on an input x, then perform f on the result'. You can then see that there are many options for f(x) and g(x) here, in fact an infinite number of one were to be ridiculous about it.
However a sensible choice might be g(x) = x^2, and f(x) = 2/x + 9. Checking:
g(x) = x^2
f(g(x)) = 2/(x^2) + 9
That is the first question dealt with. Next up is Q2. It is relatively simple to show that these functions are inverses. If you start with a value x, apply a function and then apply the function's inverse, you should return to the same starting value x. To take a common example, within a certain domain, sin^-1(sin(x)) = x.
f(g(x)) = (sqrt(3+x))^2 - 3 = 3 + x - 3 = x
g(f(x)) = sqrt(x^2 - 3 + 3) = sqrt(x^2) = x
A final note is that this is only true for a certain domain, that is x <= 0. This is because y = x^2 is a many-to-one function, so unrestricted it does not have an inverse. Take the example to illustrate this:
If x = -2, f(x) = (-2)^2 - 3 = 4 - 3 = 1
Then g(f(x)) =sqrt(1 + 3) = sqrt(4) = 2 (principal value).
However the question isn't testing knowledge of that.
I hope this helps you :)
In this right triangle, you are given the measurements for the hypotenuse, c, and one leg, b. The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle and it is always the longest side of the triangle. To find the length of leg a, substitute the known values into the Pythagorean Theorem. Solve for a2.
Hope this helps!

Honestly just use photo math
