Let f(x) = x + 8 and g(x) = x2 - 6x - 7. Find f(g(2)).

3 0

If you have double functions, solve the one in the parentheses first.

in f(g(2)), solve g(2) first.

So, substitute 2 in the function.

g(x) = x^2 - 6x - 7

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

If you substitute -15 in f(g(2)), it becomes f(-15).

f(x) = x + 8

f(-15) = -15 + 8

f(-15) = -7

The answer for f(g(2)) is -7.

The owner of the Rancho Bar X wishes to use 2400 yards of fencing to enclose a rectangular piece of grazing land along the strai

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length be x and breadth be y .

Along the river no fencing is required so total boundary line of the rectangular land = x + y + y = x + 2y

add divider to it so total length

= x + 2y + y = x + 3y

x + 3y = 2400

area A = xy

y ( 2400 - 3y ) = A

2400y - 3y² = A

For maximum area dA / dy = 0

2400 - 6y = 0

y = 400 yards.

x = 1200 yards

largest area = xy

= 48000 sq yards.

Wilma earns $9 per hour at her job. Then she spent $15 on a birthday gift for her best friend. Write an expression to represent

frozen [14]

Answer:

Wilma has $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we don't know how many hours she worked, we know that Wilma earned 9x dollars at her job. Then she spends $15, so we can just subtract 15 from 9x.

$9x-15$
