Take the GCF (-8t) of the given expression.

You'll get -8t(2t-5).

Now, set each equal to zero and solve for x.

-8t = 0 2t-5=0

t=0 t = 5/2 (Or 2.5 seconds)

Let g(x) = 2x and h(x)= x^2 -4. find (g o h)(0)

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

Find the domain of the function

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

<em>The domain of f is (-∞,4)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Domain of a Function</u>

The domain of a function f is the set of all the values that the input variable can take so the function exists.

We are given the function

$f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4-x} }$

It's a rational function which denominator cannot be 0. In the denominator, there is a square root whose radicand cannot be negative, that is, 4-x must be positive or zero, but the previous restriction takes out 0 from the domain, thus:

4 - x > 0

Subtracting 4:

- x > -4

Multiplying by -1 and swapping the inequality sign:

x < 4

Thus the domain of f is (-∞,4)
