Yes, the relation shown is a function because every element in the domain has only one distinct image in the co-domain.
Answer:
f(g(9)) = 945/16
Step-by-step explanation:
To find f(g(x)), you have to substitute g(x) wherever there is an x in f(x).
g(x) = x + 3/4
f(x) = x² - 4x - 3
f(g(x)) = (x + 3/4)² - 4(x + 3/4) - 3
f(g(x)) = x² + 3/2x + 9/16 - 4x + 3 - 3
f(g(x)) = x² - 5/2x + 9/16 + 3 - 3
f(g(x)) = x² - 5/2x + 9/16
Now, put a 9 wherever there is an x in f(g(x)).
f(g(9)) = (9)² - 5/2(9) + 9/16
f(g(9)) = 81 - 5/2(9) + 9/16
f(g(9)) = 81 - 45/2 + 9/16
f(g(9)) = 117/2 + 9/16
f(g(9)) = 945/16
Well if the number is 100 dollars and it increases by four hundred percent it now costs 400 dollars. But if it was 100 dollars after the increase the original price was 25 dollars.
