Question 1)
Given: F(x) = 3x^2 + 1, G(x) = 2x - 3, H(x) = x
F(G(x)) = 3(2x - 3)^2 + 1
F(G(x)) =3(4x^2 - 12x + 9) + 1
F(G(x)) = 12x^2 - 36x + 27 + 1
F(G(x)) =12x^2 - 36x + 28
Question 2)
Given: F(x) = 3x^2 + 1, G(x) = 2x - 3, H(x) = x
H -1 (x) = x (inverse)
Answer:
<u>y = -2x + 7</u>
Explanation:
<em><u>y = mx + b</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em>m = slope</em>
<em>b = y-intercept</em>
<em>y = a given y coordinate</em>
<em>x = a corresponding x coordinate</em>
<em />
First, we need to find the slope (m).
1) (4, -1)
2) (2/3)
m = slope =
=
=
= -2
plug in the values to the equation <u>y = mx + b</u>
<u />
-1 = -2(4) + b
-1 = -8 + b
7 = b
now, we can substitute in m and b into the equation y = mx + b
<u><em>y = -2x + 7</em></u>
The weight of each cabbage is not given.
I'll assume that each cabbage weighs p pounds.
Now, we know that Yasmin bought 6 cabbage each weighing p pounds. To know the total weight, we will simply multiply the number of cabbages by the weight of each as follows:
Total weight = 6 * p = 6p pounds
Hope this helps :)
