Answer:

Minimum number of calls = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets name the five people as A,B,C,D and E.

<u>On the night before ,each person talks to every other person atleast once that means A would talk to B,C,D and E atleast once.</u>

Lets start with A. He would talk to other 4 people which means there would be 4 phone calls made.

Now lets take B. He can talk to A,C,D and E. But  A has already talked to C therefore to get minimum number of phone calls , B need not call A again. So he calls only C,D and E.

In case of C using similar logic he need to talk to only D and E.

For D , he talks to E alone.

E does not have to talk to anyone as he has already talked to everyone atleast once.

Total calls = 4 + 3 + 2 + 1

                    = 10

Part 1:

Step 1:

Find the value of G(16)

Using the equation for g(x) =√x, replace x with 16 and solve:

g(16) = √16 = 4

Step 2:

Now using the answer for g(16) replace x in the equation fir f(x) with 4 and solve:

f(x) = x +2

f(4) = 4+2 = 6

Part 2:

following the same steps as part 1:

f(g(x)) would be replacing x in the equation ofr f(x)with the equation for g(x)

f(g(x)) = √x +2

I'm confused how to solve this, can someone help??
frutty [35]
Add one on both sides of the equation. You would end up with -6=x/3. You would then cross multiply, so -6 times 3 and 1 (the denominator for -6) times x and you would get -18=x
