Answer:

14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

That " • " signifies multiplication.

g(x) = (x + 1) / (x - 2) and h(x) = 4 - x are to be multiplied together to obtain (g·h)(x):

(x + 1)(4 - x)

(g·h)(x) = --------------------

x - 2

This could be simplified.

But our task is to evaluate this product function at x = -3. So we replace each instance of x with -3:

( -3 + 1 )( 4 - [-3] ) (-2)(7)

(g·h)(-3) = -------------------------- = ----------- = 14/5

-3 - 2 -5

Solve using the quadratic formula 3x^2+11x+5=0

storchak [24]

Answer:

$3x^2 + 11x + 5 = 0 : x = \frac{-11 + \sqrt{61} }{6} , x = \frac{-11 - \sqrt{61} }{6}$

Decimal:

$(x = -0.53162..., x = -3.13504...)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x^2+11x+5=0$

Solve with the quadratic formula:

For a quadratic equation of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ the solutions are:

$x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

For $a=3,\:b=11,\:c=5:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-11\pm \sqrt{11^2-4\cdot \:3\cdot \:5}}{2\cdot \:3}$

$x=\frac{-11 + \sqrt{11^2-4\cdot \:3\cdot \:5}}{2\cdot \:3} : \frac{-11 + \sqrt{61} }{6}$

$x=\frac{-11 - \sqrt{11^2-4\cdot \:3\cdot \:5}}{2\cdot \:3} : \frac{-11 - \sqrt{61} }{6}$

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

$x=\frac{-11+\sqrt{61}}{6},\:x=\frac{-11-\sqrt{61}}{6}$

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Mean: 11.5 Median: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

For the mean find the average by adding all of the numbers up and dividing by the number of numbers in the set.

For the median arrange the numbers in order of least to greatest then find the middle number if there is two add them together and divide by two.
