Answer:225000 mice

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of elephant=4500kg

Mass of mice=2x10^(-2)=2/100 kg

Let y be there number of mice

2/100 x y=4500

2y/100=4500

Cross multiply

2y=4500 x 100

2y=450000

Divide both sides by 2

2y/2=450000/2

y=225000

If h(x)=(fog)(x) and h(x) = sqrt x+5, find g(x) if f(x) = sqrtx+2

Katen [24]

Answer: The value of g(x) is x+3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$h(x)=f\circ g(x)$

Here,

$h(x)=\sqrt{x+5}\\\\and\\\\f(x)=\sqrt{x+2}$

We need to find the value of g(x):

$f(x)=\sqrt{x+2}\\\\f(g(x))=\sqrt{g(x)+2}\\\\h(x)=\sqrt{g(x)+2}\\\\\sqrt{x+5}=\sqrt{g(x)+2}\\\\x+5=g(x)+2\\\\g(x)=x+5-2=x+3$

Hence, the value of g(x) is x+3.
