Answer:
12 and 13
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
To evaluate f(g(2)), evaluate g(2) then use the value obtained to evaluate f(x)
g(2) = 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3, then
f(3) = 3² + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12
--------------------------------------------
(b)
To evaluate g(f(2)), evaluate f(2) the use the value obtained to evaluate g(x)
f(2) = 2² + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7, then
g(7) = 2(7) - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13
Equal sides and equal angles
Let the middle child be x
youngest child = x - 1
Oldest child = x + 1
(x - 1)^2 = 8(x + 1) + 4
x^2 - 2x + 1 = 8x + 8 + 4
x^2 - 10x - 11 = 0
(x - 11) * (x + 1) = 0
X = - 1 makes no sense. How can a middle child be - 1 years old?
x = 11
The youngest child is 10
The middle child is 11
The oldest child is 12
Check
=====
10^2 = 100
(8*12) + 4
96 + 4 = 100 So the results have been checked.
I can't get to the attachment attached to the question. So I don't know the answers to the Odd Question #'s!
Or in tern I can't see the Questions so that I could answer them!
The coordinates are plotted and connected from one point to the other to see the triangle form. At first, it looks like an isosceles triangle, but after getting the distances, it is a SCALENE triangle.
