Answer:

2(x - 3)(x - 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2x² - 24x + 54 ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(x² - 12x + 27) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 27) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 12)

The factors are - 3 and - 9 , since

- 3 × - 9 = + 27 and - 3 - 9 = - 12 , thus

x² - 12x + 27 = (x - 3)(x - 9) and

f(x) = 2(x - 3)(x - 9) ← in factored form

Part (a)

Locate x = -1 on the x axis. Draw a vertical line through this x value until you reach the f(x) curve. Then move horizontally until you reach the y axis. You should arrive at y = 4. Check out the diagram below to see what I mean.

Since f(-1) = 4, this means we can then say

g( f(-1) ) = g( 4 ) = 4

To evaluate g(4), we'll follow the same idea as what we did with f(x). However, we'll start at x = 4 and draw a vertical line until we reach the g(x) curve this time.

<h3>Answer: 4</h3>

==========================================================

Part (b)

We use the same idea as part (a)

f(-2) = 5

g( f(-2) ) = g(5) = 6

<h3>Answer: 6</h3>

==========================================================

Part (c)

Same idea as the last two parts. We start on the inside and work toward the outside. Keep in mind that g(x) is now the inner function for this part and for part (d) as well.

g(1) = -2

f( g(1) ) = f(-2) = 5

<h3>Answer: 5</h3>

==========================================================

Part (d)

Same idea as part (c)

g(2) = 0

f( g(2) ) = f( 0 ) = 3

<h3>Answer: 3</h3>

Braydon is at the 10-mile Marker at the park to run. He can run at a pace of 3 miles per hour. Lauren is at the 12-mile marker a

madreJ [45]

it will take 1.33 hours for Braydon and Lauren to get to the same mile marker on the path in the park .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , Braydon can run at 3 miles per hour , he's initially at 10 mile marker . Lauren is at the 12-mile marker at the park, She is walking at a pace of 1.5 miles per hour. We need to find How long will it take for Braydon and Lauren to get to the same mile marker on the path in the park .Let's find out:

Let after time t they meet each other so , Braydon can run at 3 miles per hour , he's initially at 10 mile marker . Distance traveled is given by :

⇒ $3t+10$
