Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $f(x) = 2x + 5$

$g(x) = x-7$

To Find: solve for f(g(x)) when x = −3

Solution:

$f(x) = 2x + 5$

$g(x) = x-7$

$f(g(x)) = 2(x-7)+ 5=2x-14+5=2x-9$ ---1

Now we are supposed to find f(g(x)) when x = −3

So, substitute x = -3 in 1

$f(g(-3)) =2(-3)-9$

$f(g(-3)) =-6-9$

$f(g(-3)) =-15$

Hence f(g(x)) when x = −3 is -15.

F(g(x))= 2(g(x))+5 = 2(x-7)+5 = 2x-14+5 = 2x-9
when x= -3
f(g(-3))= 2(-3)-9 = -6-9 = -15

Answer:

f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions

Step-by-step explanation:

In the two functions f(x) and g(x) if, f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x, then

f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions

Let us use this rule to solve the question

∵ f(x) = 3x²

∵ g(x) = $\sqrt{\frac{x}{3}}$

→ Find f(g(x)) by substitute x in f(x) by g(x)

∴ f(g(x)) = 3( $\sqrt{\frac{x}{3}}$ )²

→ Cancel the square root with power 2

∴ f(g(x)) = 3( $\frac{x}{3}$ )

→ Cancel the 3 up with the 3 down

∴ f(g(x)) = x

→ Find g(f(x)) by substitute x in g(x) by f(x)

∴ g(f(x)) = $\sqrt{\frac{3x^{2}}{3}}$

→ Cancel the 3 up with the 3 down

∴ g(f(x)) = $\sqrt{x^{2}}$

→ Cancel the square root with power 2

∴ g(f(x)) = x

∵ f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x

→ By using the rule above

∴ f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x + 1?

aliina [53]

First, conceptually understand what an inverse function is, it makes solving it very intuitive. An inverse function is simply a function which has points (y,x) for every point (x,y) of the parent function. So you are essentially taking all points of the parent function and switching the x and y coordinates for each. Those switched coordinates are produced by the "inverse function".

Mathematically then, finding the inverse function is a matter of solving for x and then switching the variable labels. In this case:

y=2x+1 subtract 1 from both sides

y-1=2x divide both sides by 2

(y-1)/2=x now just switch the labels for the variables...

y=(x-1)/2 so

f^-1(x)=(x-1)/2 is the inverse of f(x)=2x+1

Two consecutive numbers have a sum of 346. What are the numbers?

seraphim [82]

Answer:

81,82,83

Step-by-step explanation:

What three consecutive integers have a sum of 246? Which means that the first number is 81, the second number is 81 + 1 and the third number is 81 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 246 are 81, 82, and 83.
