Answer:

g(f(x)) = - x² + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate g(f(x)), substitute x = f(x) into g(x), that is

g(f(x))

= g(- x² - 1)

= - x² - 1 + 5

= - x² + 4

The perimeter of a rectangular baking sheet is 58 inches and its area is 201.25 in.2. What are the length and width of the bakin

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

$Length=17.5\ in\\\\Width=11.5\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the Area of a rectangle is:

$A=lw$

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

And the formula for calculate the peimeter of a rectangle is:

$P=2l+2w$

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

We know that the perimeter of the rectangular baking sheet is 58 inches and its area is 201.25 in². Then:

$A=201.25\ in^2\\\\P=58\ in$

<u>The steps are:</u>

1. Solve for the "l" from the formula $A=lw$ :

$A=lw\\\\l=\frac{A}{w}\\\\\l=\frac{201.25}{w}$

2. Substitute $l=\frac{201.25}{w}$ into the formula $P=2l+2w$ and solve for "w":

$58=2(\frac{201.25}{w})+2w\\\\58=\frac{402.5}{w}+2w\\\\58=\frac{402.5+2w^2}{w}\\\\58w=402.5+2w^2\\\\2w^2-58w+402.5=0$

Applying the Quadratic formula $x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , we get:

$x=w=\frac{-(-58)\±\sqrt{(-58)^2-4(2)(402.5)}}{2(2)}\\\\w_1=17.5\\\\w_2=11.5$

3. Substitute $w_1=17.5$ into $l=\frac{201.25}{w}$ :

$l=\frac{201.25}{17.5}=11.5$

4. Substitute $w_2=11.5$ into $l=\frac{201.25}{w}$ :

$l=\frac{201.25}{11.5}=17.5$

Therefore, since the value of the lenght of a rectangle must be greater that the value of the width, we can conclude that the lenght and the width of the rectangular baking sheet are:

$l=17.5\ in\\\\w=11.5\ in$

A 6?-ft vertical post casts a 10?-in shadow at the same time a nearby cell phone tower casts a 120?-ft shadow. How tall is the c

Advocard [28]

Answer:

72?-ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The tower shadow is 12 times as long as that of the post, so the tower will be 12 times as high as the post.

... 12 × 6?-ft = 72?-ft

5 squirrels were found to have an average weight of 8.9 ounces with a sample standard deviation is 0.9. Find the 95% confidence

stira [4]

Answer: ( 8.11 , 9.69)

the 95% confidence interval of the true mean weight

= ( 8.11 , 9.69)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = 8.9

Standard deviation r = 0.9

Number of samples n = 5

Confidence interval = 95%

z(at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Substituting the values we have;

8.9+/-1.96(0.9/√5)

8.9+/-1.96(0.4025)

8.9+/- 0.79

= ( 8.11 , 9.69)

Therefore at 95% confidence interval (a,b) = ( 8.11 , 9.69)
