5 0

Since this is an arithmetic sequence, you can conclude that the addition to the number is constant.

Let x = the number asked

k = constant number added to the sequence

7 + k = x

x + k = 17

Solve the system of equation:

7 + k + k = 17

7 + 2k = 17

2k = 10

k = 5

Therefore, the missing number is 12 (7 + 5).

If h(x) = x – 7 and g(x) = x2, which expression is equivalent to (G ▪ H) (5)? (5 – 7)2 (5)2 – 7 (5)2(5 – 7) (5 – 7)x2

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The correct answer is (5 - 7)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, start with the outermost equation g(x).

g(x) = x^2

Now put the next equation (h(x)) in for x in this equation.

(G ▪ H)(x) = (x - 7)^2

Now, put the number in for x in the equation given.

(G ▪ H)(x) = (5 - 7)^2
