double every 6 months
in 6 months there would be 250*2 = 500 crickets
in 1 year there would be 500*2 = 1000 crickets
in 1.5 years there would be 1000 *2 = 2000 crickets
in 2 years there would be 2000 *2 = 4000 crickets
Answer:
f(g(2)) = 22
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
<u>Algebra I</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(x) = 3x + 1
g(x) = 2x² - 1
<u>Step 2: Find g(2)</u>
- Substitute: g(2) = 2(2)² - 1
- Evaluate: g(2) = 2(4) - 1
- Multiply: g(2) = 8 - 1
- Subtract: g(2) = 7
<u>Step 3: Find f(g(2))</u>
- Define: g(2) = 7
- Rewrite: f(7)
- Substitute: f(7) = 3(7) + 1
- Multiply: f(7) = 21 + 1
- Add: f(7) = 22
And we have our final answer!
Answer:
Y = 12.
Explanation: Because 17- 5 is 12 and when you are doing problems like that, you are supposed to subtract the number behing the equal sign with the number in front of the equal sign. So, that would be 17- 5. And that gives you 12. So, Y=12.
