Find f(x) and g(x) so that the function can be described as y = f(g(x)). y = 4/x^2+9

Mathematics

dlinn [17]3 years ago

I'm assuming all of (x^2+9) is in the denominator. If that assumption is correct, then,

One possible answer is f(x) = \frac{4}{x},  \ \ g(x) = x^2+9

Another possible answer is f(x) = \frac{4}{x+9}, \ \ g(x) = x^2

There are many ways to do this. The idea is that when we have f( g(x) ), we basically replace every x in f(x) with g(x)

So in the first example above, we would have

f(x) = \frac{4}{x}\\\\f( g(x) ) = \frac{4}{g(x)}\\\\f( g(x) ) = \frac{4}{x^2+9}

In that third step, g(x) was replaced with x^2+9 since g(x) = x^2+9.

Similar steps will happen with the second example as well (when g(x) = x^2)

First you need to find area of square which is side x side which is 8x8 which is 64. Then you find the side of the triangle which is 14-8 which is 6 then you need to find the height of the dotted line I’m pretty sure there’s a formula but it looks like it’s 8 because it looks like a square so then the formula of a triangle is base times height divided by two so the base is 6 and height is 8 so 6x8 which is 48 and divided by two is 24 then you add the area of the triangle and the area of the square which is 64 so 64+24 which is 88 so I’m pretty sure the area is 88 then just put whatever units after :)

Well you would first add 5/13 and 2/13, so 7/13. Then you would subtract 7 from 13. So your answer would be 6/13. Hope that helped!

What is the slope of the line that passes through (5,-2) and (-3,4)
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Slope =  \frac{-3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

(5 , -2)   ; (-3, 4)

Slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\=\frac{4-[-2]}{-3-5}\\\\=\frac{4+2}{-3-5}\\\\=\frac{6}{-8}\\\\=\frac{-3}{4}\\\\
