Answer:

The cab is -1/3 west of north.

( from the starting point it goes 1 block to the north and 3 blocks to the west . Cab is at (-2,-1))

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

A taxicab starts at (1, -2) on the grid.

  • It goes 4 blocks south and 3 blocks east to pick up a passenger.

This implies that the cab will reach at a point (4,-6)

( Since going south means it will go some units down and similarly going east means it will go some units to the right.

Hence, here going 4 blocks south and 3 blocks east means it will go to:

(1,-2) → (1+3,-2-4)=(4,-6) )

  • Then it goes 6 blocks west and 5 blocks north and drops off the passenger.

This means that the cab will drop the passenger at (-2,-1)

Since going north means it will go some units up and similarly going west means it will go some units to the left.

Hence, here going 6 blocks west and 5 blocks north means it will go to:

(4,-6) → (4-6,-6+5)=(-2,-1) )

Hence, the end point is (-2,-1)

Now the slope of the line joining the starting and the end point is:

i.e. line joining (1,-2) and (-2,-1) is:

=\dfrac{-1+2}{-2-1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{-3}\\\\\\=-\dfrac{1}{3}

Hence, the taxicab is -1/3 block west of north.

i.e. from the starting point it goes 1 block to the north and 3 blocks to the west.

i.e. the cab is in west-north direction from the starting point.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

-8p^4+12p^3+4p^4-8p^2+3p^2

=-8p^4+4p^4+12p^3-8p^2+3p^2

=-4p^4+12p^3-5p^2

=p^2(-4p^2+12p-5)

Let g (x) = 3x+2 and f (x) = x-2 / 3 find the value. g (f(2))
Romashka [77]

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve the given exercise, you can follow these steps:

1. Given the following function f(x):

f(x)=\frac{x-2}{3}

You must substitute x=2 into the function f(x). Then:

f(2)=\frac{(2)-2}{3}

2. Evaluating, you get:

f(2)=\frac{0}{3}\\\\f(2)=0

3. Now, the next step is to substitute f(2)  into the function g(x):

g (x) = 3x+2\\\\g (f(2)) = 3(0)+2

4. Finally, evaluating, you get the following result:

g (f(2)) = 0+2\\\\g (f(2)) =2

You can identify that it matches with the Option C.
