What is the situation from the problem
40/3 days, (13.33 days)
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up the equation, 15/20 = 10/x, and then use cross mutiply to solve it.
10 * 20 = 15x, x = 200/15 = 40/3
Why?
b/c if each pig eats the same amount of food, then the ratio between the number of pigs and days should remain constant.
Remark
First of all you have to declare the meaning of g(f(x)) After you have done that, you have to make the correct substitution.
Givens
f(x) = 4x^2 + x + 1
g(x) = x^2 - 2
Discussion
What the given condition g(f(x)) means is that you begin with g(x). Write down g(x) = x^2 - 2
Wherever you see an x on either the left or right side of the equation, you put fix)
Then wherever you see f(x) on the right you put in what f(x) is equal to.
Solution
g(x) = x^2 - 2
g(f(x)) = (f(x))^2 - 2
g(f(x)) = [4x^2 + x + 1]^2 - 2
f(x)^2 =
4x^2 + x + 1
<u>4x^2 + x + 1</u>
16x^4 + 4x^3 + 4x^2
4x^3 + x^2 + x
<u> 4x^2 + x + 1</u>
16x^4 + 8x^3 + 9x^2 + 2x + 1
Answer
g(f(x)) = 16x^4 + 8x^3 + 9x^2 + 2x + 1 - 2
g(f(x)) = 16x^4 + 8x^3 + 9x^2 + 2x - 1
Answer:
Combine like terms.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2y=16
