The function notation f(x)=2x-4 means replace the x on the right-hand side with the value in parentheses on the left.
For example, f(y)=2y-4; f(4)=2(4)-4=4; f(1)=2(1)-4=-2 and so on.
The same principle applies to g(x), for example
g(2)=4(2^2)-3=13,
g(x+1)=4(x+1)^2-3=4(x^2+2x+1)-3=4x^2+8x+4-3=4x^2+8x+1
and so on.
(g of f)(x) is another way to write g(f(x)), therefore
g(f(x))
=g(2x-4) [because f(x)=2x-4
=4(2x-4)^2-3
=4(4x^2-16x+16)-3
=16x^2-64x+64-3
=16x^2-64x+61
Im thinking both shorter sides are 5cm, and the 2 longer sides are 8cm each... add them all together and you get 26cm
The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite and reciprocals.
4⁽²ˣ ⁺ ⁵⁾ = 8³ˣ
But 4 = 2² and 8 = 2³
4⁽²ˣ ⁺ ⁵⁾ = 8³ˣ
2²⁽²ˣ ⁺ ⁵⁾ = (2³)³ˣ
Multiply out the powers, also since the
2⁴ˣ ⁺ ¹⁰ = 2⁹ˣ
Since the bases are the same, hence the powers are also the same.
4x + 10 = 9x
4x - 9x = -10
-5x = -10
x = -10/-5
x = 2
Hope this explains it.
28.26, because 6/2=3 3x3=9 3.14x9= 28.26
