Initially, the ratio of Ed’s toy cars to Pete’s toy cars was 5:2. After Ed gave 30 toy cars to Pete, they each had an equal numb

Burka [1]

So here is the answer. Initially, Ed's toy cars compared to Pete's toy cars was 5:2. So for every 5 cars that Ed has, Pete has 2. Now that Ed gave 30 cars to Pete. So here it goes. The total number of ratio units is 5+2=7, so each will have an equal number if they both have 3.5 ratio units. That is, if Ed transfers to Pete 1.5 ratio units, their car counts will be equal. Thus 1.5 ratio units = 30 cars, or 1 ratio unit = 20 cars. Therefore, this makes <span> 7*20 cars = 140 cars.

What is f(g(x)) for x > 5?

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{B.\ 4x^2-41x+105}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=4x-\sqrt{x}\\\\g(x)=(x-5)^2\\\\f(g(x))\to\text{put}\ x=(x-5)^2\ \text{to}\ f(x):\\\\f(g(x))=f\bigg((x-5)^2\bigg)=4(x-5)^2-\sqrt{(x-5)^2}\\\\\text{use}\\(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\sqrt{x^2}=|x|\\\\f(g(x)=4(x^2-2(x)(5)+5^2)-|x-5|\\\\x>5,\ \text{therefore}\ x-5>0\to|x-5|=x-5\\\\f(g(x))=4(x^2-10x+25)-(x-5)\\\\\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\f(g(x))=(4)(x^2)+(4)(-10x)+(4)(25)-x-(-5)\\\\f(g(x))=4x^2-40x+100-x+5\\\\\text{combine like terms}\\\\f(g(x))=4x^2+(-40x-x)+(100+5)\\\\f(g(x))=4x^2-41x+105$
