Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

(fog)(3) is the same as finding f(g(3)). To solve, we first need to solve g(3). then, we solve for f(g(3)).

g(3)=5(3) [multiply]

g(3)=15

Now, we plug in 15 into f(x).

f(g(3))=-2(15)+8 [multiply]

f(g(3))=-30+8 [add]

f(g(3))=-22

Now, we know that C is the correct answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are about 110,000 days in 300 years, so the expected number of failures is about 10/11 ≈ 1.

_____

This assumes the launch conditions are identical for each of the launches, or that whatever variation there might be has no effect on the probability. These are bad assumptions.

The roots of 2x^{2} + 3x = 4 are α and β. Find the simplest quadratic equation which has roots <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f

elena-s [515]

$2x^2+3x=4\implies2x^2+3x-4=0\implies x=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{41}}4$

Let $\alpha$ be the root with the positive square root and $\beta$ the root with the negative square root. Then

$\dfrac1\alpha=\dfrac4{-3+\sqrt{41}}\quad\text{and}\quad\dfrac1\beta=\dfrac4{-3-\sqrt{41}}$

The simplest quadratic with these roots can be written as

$\left(x-\dfrac1\alpha\right)\left(x-\dfrac1\beta\right)=x^2-\left(\dfrac1\alpha+\dfrac1\beta\right)x+\dfrac1{\alpha\beta}=x^2-\dfrac34x-\dfrac12$
