The answer is -8

====================================================

Explanation:

There are two ways to get this answer

Method 1 will have us plug x = 0 into h(x) to get
h(x) = x^2 - 4
h(0) = 0^2 - 4
h(0) = 0 - 4
h(0) = -4
Then this output is plugged into g(x) to get
g(x) = 2x
g(-4) = 2*(-4)
g(-4) = -8 which is the answer
This works because (g o h)(0) is the same as g(h(0)). Note how h(0) is replaced with -4
So effectively g(h(0)) = -8 which is the same as (g o h)(0) = -8

-----------------------

The second method involves a bit algebra first
Start with the outer function g(x). Then replace every x with h(x). On the right side, we will replace h(x) with x^2-4 because h(x) = x^2-4

g(x) = 2x
g(x) = 2( x )
g(h(x)) = 2( h(x) ) ... replace every x with h(x)
g(h(x)) = 2( x^2-4 ) ... replace h(x) on the right side with x^2-4
g(h(x)) = 2x^2-8
(g o h)(x) = 2x^2-8

Now plug in x = 0
(g o h)(x) = 2x^2-8
(g o h)(0) = 2(0)^2-8
(g o h)(0) = 2(0)-8
(g o h)(0) = 0-8
(g o h)(0) = -8

Regardless of which method you use, the answer is -8

Three exterior angles of a pentagon measures 60,80and 90.Find the measure of other two exterior angle, assuming them equally Tha
julsineya [31]

Given:

The three exterior angles of a pentagon measures 60,80 and 90.

To find:

The measure of other two exterior angle, assuming them equally.

Solution:

Let x be the measure of two other exterior angles of the pentagon.

We know that the sum of all exterior angles of a pentagon is 360 degrees.

60^\circ+80^\circ+90^\circ+x+x=360^\circ

230^\circ+2x=360^\circ

2x=360^\circ-230^\circ

2x=130^\circ

Divide both sides by 2.

\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{130^\circ}{2}

x=65^\circ

Therefore, the measures of both exterior angles are 65 degrees.
