Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = −5x + 2

We have to find f(g(x))

f(g(x))= f(-5x+2)

= 2(-5x+2) +1

= -10x+4+1

= -10x+5

When, x=3

f(g(3))= -10×3+5

= -30+5

= -25

Hence, value of f(g(x)) when x=3 is:

-25

The first step in solving for f(g(x)) when x=3, is solve for g(x). The answer of g(x) when x is equal to 3 is -(5) multiplied by 3 add by 2. Therefore, g(x) is -13. Then substitute the value of g(x) to f(x). The answer of f(-13) is 2 multiplied by -13, then add 1. So, the final answer is, f(x)=-25.

11.

to find floor area:

= 8 x 8

= 64

= Floor is 64m.

to find carpet: 8 x 8 x 75%

= 64 x 75%

= 64 x 0.75

= 48

a. The dimensions of the carpet are probably 8 by 8.

b. The area of the floor not covered by carpet is 64, hence 8 x 8.

Answer:

A. $y=-1.2x+59$

B. 42.2 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Given:

Newspapers circulated in year 2004, $y_{1}=59\textrm{ million}$

Newspapers circulated in year 2014, $y_{2}=47\textrm{ million}$

Let the time $x$ start at the year 2004. So, $x_{1}=0$

For the year 2014, $x_{2}=2014-2004=10$

Therefore, linear relationship between newspapers circulated and time passed since 2004 is given as:

$y-y_{1}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}(x-x_{1})\\y-59=\frac{47-59}{10-0}(x-0)\\y-59=-\frac{12}{10}x\\y=-1.2x+59$

Therefore, the equation describing the relationship is: $y=-1.2x+59$

Part B:

For the year 2018, $x=2018-2004=14$

Plug in 14 for $x$ in the above equation and solve for $y$ . This gives,

$y=-1.2(14)+59\\y=-16.8+59\\y=42.2$

Therefore, in the year 2018, the newspaper circulation will be 42.2 million.

Answer:

(a) B

(b) $2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Let's say the cost of a ticket is t and the cost of popcorn is p. Then we can write the two equations from the table:

12t + 8p = 184

9t + 6p = 138

We need to solve this, so let's use elimination. Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4:

3 * (12t + 8p = 184)

4 * (9t + 6p = 138)

We get:

36t + 24p = 552

Subtract the second from the first:

36t + 24p = 552

- 36t + 24p = 552

________________

0 = 0

Since we get down to 0 = 0, which is always true, we know that we cannot determine the cost of each ticket because there is more than one solution (infinitely many, actually). The answer is B.

(b) Our equation from this, if we still use t and p, is:

5t + 4p = 82

Now, just choose any of the two equations from above. Let's just pick 9t + 6p = 138. Now, we have the system:

5t + 4p = 82

9t + 6p = 138

To solve, let's use elimination again. Multiply the first equation by 6 and the second one by 4:

6 * (5t + 4p = 82)

4 * (9t + 6p = 138)

We get:

30t + 24p = 492

36t + 24p = 552

Subtract the second from the first:

36t + 24p = 552

- 30t + 24p = 492

________________

6t + 0p = 60

So, t = 60/6 = $10. Plug this back into any of the equations to solve for p:

5t + 4p = 82

5 * 10 + 4p = 82

50 + 4p = 82

4p = 32

p = 32/4 = $8

So the ticket costs 10 - 8 = $2 more dollars than the popcorn.
