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

Based on the information below, choose the correct answers.
lozanna [386]

Since there are 120 payment and the total interest paid was $ 14,644.95. so the average monthly interest can be calculated by:

Average monthly interest = $ 14,644.95 / 120

Average monthly interest = $ 122.04

 

% total interest = ($ 14,644.95) / $ 39,644.95 x 100

% total interest =36.94 %

The height, h, in feet of a ball above the ground is given by h = −16t2 + 64t + 80, where t is the time in seconds. How long doe
Gwar [14]

Answer:

t = 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the height h, in feet of a ball above the ground is given by :

h=-16t^2+64t+80

Where t is in seconds

We need to find how long does it take the ball to hit the ground? When it hits the ground, its height will be equal to 0. So,

-16t^2+64t+80=0\\\\t=\dfrac{-64\pm \sqrt{(64)^2-4\times (-16)(80)} }{2\times -16}\\\\t=\dfrac{-64+ \sqrt{(64)^2-4\times (-16)(80)} }{2\times -16},\dfrac{-64-\sqrt{(64)^2-4\times (-16)(80)} }{2\times -16}\\\\t=-1\ s\ \text{and}\ t=5\ s

Neglecting negative time.

It means ball will take 5 seconds to hit the ground.

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry.<br>equation of axis of symmetry:​
sleet_krkn [62]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex. The vertex is the turning point, or minimum, of the function. It is (x, y) = (-4, 0). The x-coordinate there is -4, so the equation of the axis of symmetry is ...

  x = -4
