There are two functions that can be used to describe the percent of people 25 years and older who have completed at least high s

chool. For both functions f(x)=0.44x + 87.5 and g(x)=0.008x^2 + 0.42x + 87.5 is the number of years since 2008, and any y (or f(x) or g(x)) is the percent of people 25 and older completing at least high school. Assume that the trend of g(x) continues. Find g(15) and describe in words what this means.

Answer:

g(15)=93.8\%

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of years since 2008,

g(x) ----> the percent of people 25 years and older who have completed at least high school

we know that

g(x)=0.008x^2+0.42x+87.5

so

For x=15 years since 2008

substitute

g(15)=0.008(15)^2+0.42(15)+87.5=93.8\%

That means

In the year 2023 (2008+15) the percent of people 25 and older completing at least high school will be 93.8%

Find the domain of the function (f/g)(x) given f (x)=x^2-4x-5 and g(x)=x^2-25
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

all real numbers except ±5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each function (f(x), g(x)) has a domain that is all real numbers. Their quotient (f(x)/g(x)) must exclude values that make g(x) = 0. The quotient is undefined when the denominator is zero. Those excluded values are x = ±5.

The domain of (f/g)(x) is all real numbers except ±5.

___

Of course you recognize x^2 -25 = 0 has solutions x = ±√25 = ±5. You can get there two ways:

  1. add 25 and take the square root: x^2=25; x=±√25.
  2. factor the difference of squares and set the factors to zero: (x-5)(x+5)=0 has solutions x-5=0 and x+5=0, that is, x = ±5.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Actually, g(t) = -5(x – 3) is a linear function:  g(t) = -5x + 15.  Its graph is a straight line with slope -5 and y-intercept (0, 15).
