Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the monthly charge has the following format

In which y(x) is the cost in function of the number of kilowatt-hours used(x), a is the price of each killowatt hour and b is the fixed(base) charge.
Base charge of $17.32 per month.
This means that 
charge of 7.32 cents per kilowatt-hour
Our answer is in dollars. Each dollar is 100 cents. So 7.32 cents is 
Write an equation for the monthly charge y in terms of x, the number of kilowatt-hours used.


Answer:
7.5 m 457.5

Step-by-step explanation:
First, visualize the original cone and the smaller cone as overlapping similar triangles. The scale factor of the original cone to the smaller cone is 50:40, so if the smaller cone has a radius of 6 m, then the radius of the original cone would be 7.5 m.
The volume of the frustum is the volume of the original cone minus the volume of the smaller cone. The formula for the volume of a cone is V =
.
Original Cone =
=
= 937.5
Smaller Cone =
=
= 480
Frustum = 937.5
- 480
= 457.5
f(g(-1)) = - 3
Evaluate g(-1) and substitute into f(x)
g(-1) = (-1)² -7(-1) - 9 = 1 + 7 - 9 = - 1
f(g(-1)) = (-1) - 2 = - 3
