The answer is -8
====================================================
Explanation:
There are two ways to get this answer
Method 1 will have us plug x = 0 into h(x) to get
h(x) = x^2 - 4
h(0) = 0^2 - 4
h(0) = 0 - 4
h(0) = -4
Then this output is plugged into g(x) to get
g(x) = 2x
g(-4) = 2*(-4)
g(-4) = -8 which is the answer
This works because (g o h)(0) is the same as g(h(0)). Note how h(0) is replaced with -4
So effectively g(h(0)) = -8 which is the same as (g o h)(0) = -8
-----------------------
The second method involves a bit algebra first
Start with the outer function g(x). Then replace every x with h(x). On the right side, we will replace h(x) with x^2-4 because h(x) = x^2-4
g(x) = 2x
g(x) = 2( x )
g(h(x)) = 2( h(x) ) ... replace every x with h(x)
g(h(x)) = 2( x^2-4 ) ... replace h(x) on the right side with x^2-4
g(h(x)) = 2x^2-8
(g o h)(x) = 2x^2-8
Now plug in x = 0
(g o h)(x) = 2x^2-8
(g o h)(0) = 2(0)^2-8
(g o h)(0) = 2(0)-8
(g o h)(0) = 0-8
(g o h)(0) = -8
Regardless of which method you use, the answer is -8

Answer:
108 pi inches cubed
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cylinder is base area times volume. Since we have our base area of 12 pi, and our height of 9, we have the are as 12* 9 = 108 pi inches cubed. Thus, the answer is D.
You had 12 the next day and the day after that you had 18
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let first group of people take x candies each
and second group of people take y candies each
5x + 7y will be total candies
5x +7y = 239 (needed to find positive solution of x,y)
now take x=38, y =7
or x=31, y= 12
hence lots of possibilities ,so we can not say exactly
