Let f(X) = X + 8 and g(X) = x^2 - 6x - 7 find f(g(2)).

1 answer:

4 0

So what you do is evaluate g(2) then plug that value in for x in f(x)

g(2)=2^2-6(2)-7
g(2)=4-12-7
g(2)=-15

now
f(-15)=-15+8
f(-15)=-7

f(g(2)=-7

Use PQR below to answer the question that follows:<br>

Luden [163]

Answer:

Angle P is congruent to itself due to the reflexive property.

Explanation:

Angle P must be congruent to angle S through corresponding angle theory.

Otherwise, it wouldn't prove ΔPQR is similar to ΔSTR.

Find the slope of the line that is (a) parallel and (b) perpendicular to the line through the pair of points. (−5,−4) and

Reil [10]

Slope of a line parallel is equal to change in y over change in x: which is 9/8, or 1.125. A line perpendicular is the negative reciprocal, which is -8/9.

Find the solution set.<br> 8x^2+7x-1=0

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

x = - 1, x = $\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8x² + 7x - 1 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 8 × - 1 = - 8 and sum = + 7

The factors are + 8 and - 1

Use these factors to split the x- term

8x² + 8x - x - 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

8x(x + 1) - 1(x + 1) = 0 ← factor out (x + 1) from each term

(x + 1)(8x - 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

8x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 8x = 1 ⇒ x = $\frac{1}{8}$

Write r=-8sec(theta) in rectangular form

Airida [17]

$r=-8\sec\theta=-\dfrac8{\cos\theta}\implies r\cos\theta=-8$

Converting from rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates involves setting $(x,y)=(r\cos\theta,r\sin\theta)$ . Since the left hand side matches $x$ perfectly, the equation's rectangular coordinate form is $x=-8$ .
