A number decreased by thirty seven or thirty seven less than a number
Part (a)
Locate x = -1 on the x axis. Draw a vertical line through this x value until you reach the f(x) curve. Then move horizontally until you reach the y axis. You should arrive at y = 4. Check out the diagram below to see what I mean.
Since f(-1) = 4, this means we can then say
g( f(-1) ) = g( 4 ) = 4
To evaluate g(4), we'll follow the same idea as what we did with f(x). However, we'll start at x = 4 and draw a vertical line until we reach the g(x) curve this time.

Answer: 4</h3>
==========================================================
Part (b)
We use the same idea as part (a)
f(-2) = 5
g( f(-2) ) = g(5) = 6
<h3>
Answer: 6</h3>
==========================================================
Part (c)
Same idea as the last two parts. We start on the inside and work toward the outside. Keep in mind that g(x) is now the inner function for this part and for part (d) as well.
g(1) = -2
f( g(1) ) = f(-2) = 5
<h3>
Answer: 5</h3>
==========================================================
Part (d)
Same idea as part (c)
g(2) = 0
f( g(2) ) = f( 0 ) = 3
<h3>
Answer: 3</h3>
Answer:
It's 5

Good Luck
To write a ratio as a fraction, we simply take the first number in the ratio and make it the numerator while taking the second number in the ratio and making it the denominator.
Because we want the ratio of engines to box cars, our ratio should be:
number of engines/number of box cars
When we substitute in our respective values, we get:
4/18
To simplify this ratio, we have to find the GCF, or greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator, which in this case is 2. To simplify, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF, as follows:
4/2 / 18/2
When we simplify, we get:
2/9
Therefore, your answer is 2/9.
Hope this helps!

a) 7
b) -8.2
c) 0
d) -7
e) -1 3/4
f) 121
Step-by-step explanation:
Just put the opposite for each one. The absolute value is the distance away from 0.
