Answer:

<h2>x = 7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔKLJ and ΔNPM are similar (Angle-Angle). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{MP}{JL}=\dfrac{MN}{JK}

We have:

MP = 4x - 4

JL = 20

MN = 30

JK = 25

Substitute:

\dfrac{4x-4}{20}=\dfrac{30}{25}           <em>cross multiply</em>

25(4x-4)=(20)(30)            <em>use distributive property</em>

(25)(4x)+(25)(-4)=600

100x-100=600          <em>add 100 to both sides</em>

100x=700             <em>divide both sides by 100</em>

x=7

If f(x) = -7x+2 and g(x) = square root of x+3,<br> what is (fºg)(-2)?
Degger [83]

Answer:

(fog)(-2)=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x)= -7x+2

and

g(x)= √(x+3)

For finding (fog)(-2), we have to find (fog)(x) first

In order to find (fog)(x) we will put the value of g(x) in f(x) in place of x.

(fog)(x)= -7g(x)+2

Putting the value of g(x)  

(fog)(x)= -7√(x+3)+2

We have to find (fog)(-2), so we have to put at the place of x in the composition

(fog)(-2)= -7√(-2+3)+2

(fog)(-2)= -7√1+2

= -7(1)+2

= -7+2

=-5

So,

(fog)(-2)=-5
