Alex's dog weighs 7 times as much as her cat. Together, the two pets weigh 72 pounds. How much does Alex's dog weigh?

1 answer:

7 0

D=dog's weight
c=cat's weight
d=7c
d+c=72
sub 7c for d
7c+c=72
8c=72
divide both sides by 8
c=9
d=7c
d=7(9)
d=63
dog=63lb

Leto [7]

Answer:

18.1 million

Step-by-step explanation:

12.1 - 4.9 = 7.2 million increase in 6 years

7.2 / 6 = increase of 1.2 million a year

1.2 x 5 years = 6 million

12.1 million + 6 million = sales of 18.1 million in 2001

Given f: ℝ → ℝ and : ℝ → ℝ , for the following, find f(g(x)) and g(f(x)), and state the domain.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Remember, $(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))$ and the range of g must be in the domain of f.

$f(g(x))=f(x-1)=(x-1)^2-(x-1)=x^2-2x+1-x+1=x^2-3x+2$

$g(f(x))=g(x^2-x)=(x^2-x)-1=x^2-x-1$

The domain of f(g(x)) and g(f(x)) is the set of reals.

$f(g(x))=f(\sqrt{x}-2)=(\sqrt{x}-2)^2-x=\sqrt{x}^2-2*2*\sqrt{x}+2^2-x=-4\sqrt{x}+4$

$g(f(x))=g(x^2-x)=\sqrt{x^2-x}-2$

The domain of f(g(x)) is the set of nonnegative reals and the domain of g(f(x)) is the set of number such that $x^2-x\geq 0$

$f(g(x))=f(\frac{1}{x-1})=(\frac{1}{x-1})^2=\frac{1}{(x-1)^2}$

$g(f(x))=g(x^2)=\frac{1}{x^2-1}$

The domain of f(g(x)) is the set of reals except the 1 and the domain of g(f(x)) is the set of reals except the 1 and -1

$f(g(x))=f(\frac{1}{x-1})=\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{x-1}-1)}=\frac{1}{\frac{2-x}{x-1}}=\frac{x-1}{2-x}$

$g(f(x))=g(\frac{1}{x+2})=\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{x+2}-1)}=\frac{1}{\frac{-x-1}{x+2}}=\frac{x+2}{-x-1}$

The domain of f(g(x)) is the set of reals except 2, and the domain of g(f(x)) is the set of reals except -1.

$f(g(x))=f(log(2(x+3)))=f(log(2x+6))=log(2x+6)-1$

$g(f(x))=g(x-1)=log(2(x-1)+6)=log(2x+4)$

The domain of f(g(x)) is the set of nonnegative reals except -3. The domain of g(f(x)) is the set of nonnegative reals except -2.
