(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

basically put f(x) for every x in g(x) or evaluate f(x) for taht given value of x and then sub that for x in g(x)
evaluate woould be easier
f(-7)=(-7)^2+6
f(-7)=49+6
f(-7)=55

sub for x in g(x)
g(55)=55+8/55
g(55)=63/55
g(55)=1.145454545454

answer would be 63/55

Short Answer: 55.145454545...
Working Out: gof(x) = (x^2 + 6) + 8/(x^2 + 6)
gof(-7) = ((-7)^2 + 6) + 8/((-7)^2 + 6)
= (49 + 6) + 8/(49 + 6)
= 55 + 8/55
= 55 + 0.145454545...
= 55.145454545...

out of a swarm of bees one fifth part settled on a kadamba blossom; one third on a silihindra flower; three times the difference

Lisa [10]

setting things up:
let x be the # of bees in the swarm, then 
$\frac{x}{5}+\frac{x}{3}+3(\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x}{5})+1=x$

multiply across by 15
 $3x+5x+3(5x-3x)+15=15x$
$8x+3(2x)+15=15x$
$8x+6x+15=15x$
$14x+15=15x$
$15=x\leftrightarrow x=15$

I need these 4 I really don't understand this

Fed [463]

Answer:

${x}^{2} - 2x - 3 \\ = (x - 3)(x + 1) \\ when \: y = 2 \\ x = 1 \\ vertex \: is \: (1, \: 2)$

${x}^{2} = - 625 \\ x = \sqrt{ - 625} \\ x = \sqrt{625} \times \sqrt{ - 1} \\ x = 25 \times \sqrt{ {i}^{2} } \\ x = 25 \times i \\ x = 25i$

Divide 33 photos into 2 groups so the ratio is 4 to 7

lapo4ka [179]

First you'll need two equations ( you can use any variables you want)
A= photo group 1
B= photo group 2
First equation:
A + B = 33
This is because the total number of photos from both groups is 33
Second equation:
4A = 7B
This is because the ratio is 4:7 so for every four photos in group A there must be 7 photons in group B.
Then take the first equation A + B = 33 and subtract B from both sides. Making the equation A = 33 - B
Then with that equation, substitute it in for equation 2 and it will look like this. 4(33-B) = 7B
Then distribute the 4 to the 33 and the -B making the equation 132 - 4B = 7B
Then add 4B to each side
Making the equation 132 = 11B
Then to get B by itself you must divide each side by 11 making the equation 132/11 = B which simplifies to 12 = B
Then plug in 12 for B in the first equation like this A + 12 = 33
Then subtract 12 on each side of the equation to isolate A so A = 21

So
A = 21
B = 12
