Answer:

a. -25

b. -52

c. 54

d. 8/7 = 1 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate each of the functions for each of the variable values and compute the composite as defined.

a. (f+g)(3) = f(3) + g(3) = 3^2 -5·3 + 8 -3^3 = -25

___

b. (g -f)(4) = g(4) -f(4) = 8 -4^3 -(4^2 -5·4) = 8 -64 -16 +20 = -52

___

c. (f*g)(-1) = f(-1) · g(-1) = ((-1)^2 -5(-1)) · (8 -(-1)^3) = 6·9 = 54

___

d. (g/f)(-2) = (8 -(-2)^3)/((-2)^2 -5(-2)) = (8+8)/(4+10) = 16/14 = 8/7

<em>Comment on approach to the problem</em>

When there are a number of evaluations of the same function with different values of the variable, it can be convenient to let a calculator or spreadsheet do those for you.

-0.75-(-2/5)+0.4+(-3/4)

RSB [31]

-0.75-(-2/5)+0.4+(-3/4) = -0.7 simplified, how I got this answer can be found below in 16 steps.

1 - First thing we want to do is remove the parentheses.

-0.75 - (-2/5) + 0.4 - 3/4

2 - Then we simplify, multiply -1 by -1.

-0.75 + 1 (2/5) + 0.4 - 3/4

3 - Then multiply 2/5 by 1.

-0.75 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

4 - Then we want to write - 0.75/1 as a fraction with a common denominator, we do this by multiplying by 5/5.

-0.75/1 * 5/5 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

5 - Then we write each expression with a common denominator of 5, we multiply each one by a factor of one.

-0.75 * 5/1*5 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

6 - Then we multiply 5 by 1.

-0.75 * 5 / 5 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

7 - Then we combine the numerators over the common denominator.

-0.75*5+2/5+0.4-3/4

8 - We multiply -0.75 by 5.

-3.75 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

9 - Then we add -3.75 and 2.

-1.75/5+0.4-3/4

10 - And then we divide -1.75 by 5.

-0.35 + 0.4 - 3/4

11 - Then add -0.35 and 0.4.

0.05 - 3/4

12 - We then write 0.05/1 as a fraction with a common denominator, we do this via multiplying it by 4/4.

0.05/1 * 4/4 - 3/4

13 - Then we write each expression with a common denominator of 4, through multiplying each by a factor of 1.

0.05 * 4/4 - 3/4

14 - We combine the numerators over the common denominator.

0.05 * 4 - 3 / 4

15 - We simplify.

-2.8 / 4

16 - Then we divide -2.8 / 4

The final answer is -0.7

What are period and amplitude for the function

sweet [91]

Answer: Period: 4. Amplitude: 3

Step-by-step explanation: The period is how long it takes for one cycle of the function (one up and down). In this graph, one cycle ends at 4.

The amplitude is how far away the extremes of the graph are from the midline. This graph is a total of 6 units tall, making the amplitude 3. (I usually find total graph height and divide by 2.)

Explain how to identify A relative maximum and relative minimum of a function using key features

Vlad1618 [11]

Found this on google to help you out but it states “ Find the first derivative of a function f(x) and find the critical numbers. Then, find the second derivative of a function f(x) and put the critical numbers. If the value is negative, the function has relative maxima at that point, if the value is positive, the function has relative maxima at that point.”
