Mary has gone into a department store with two coupons. One coupon is good for 20% off of the total not including tax. The other

coupon will take $15 off of her pre-tax total. If f(x) = 0.8x calculates the total after the 20% off coupon and g(x) = x – 15 calculates the total after the $15 dollar off coupon, determine g(f(100)). Then describe what g(f(100)) represents in the context of this problem.

Answer:

The value of g(f(100)) is 65.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that one coupon is good for 20% off of the total not including tax. The other coupon will take $15 off of her pre-tax total.

The given functions are

$f(x)=0.8x$

$g(x)=x-15$

where, f(x) calculates the total after the 20% off coupon and g(x) calculates the total after the $15 dollar off coupon.

We need to find the value of g(f(100)).

$g(f(x))=g[0.8(x)]$ $(\because f(x)=0.8x)$

Substitute x=100 in the above function.

$g(f(100))=g[0.8(100)]$

$g(f(100))=g(80)$

Substitute x=80 in function g(x) to find the value of g(f(100)).

$g(f(100))=80-15$ $(\because g(x)=x-15)$

$g(f(100))=65$

Therefore, the value of g(f(100)) is 65.

g(f(x)) represents the value goods after applying both coupons consecutively.

Therefore, g(f(100)) represents the value of $100 goods after applying both coupons consecutive is 65.

Which expression is equivalent to the following complex fraction?

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The first option is correct, (-2y + 5x) / (3x - 2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

$(\frac{-2}{x} + \frac{5}{y} ) \div (\frac{3}{y} - \frac{2}{x})\\= \frac{-2y + 5x}{xy} \div \frac{3x - 2y}{xy}\\= \frac{-2y + 5x}{xy} \times \frac{xy}{3x - 2y}\\= \frac{-2y + 5x}{3x - 2y}$

The sequence an = 27 ( one third ) ^ n-1 is graphed below. Find the average rate of change between n=2 and n=4

Mrrafil [7]

Rate of change
find a2 and a4

a2=27(1/3)^(2-1)=27 times 1/3=9
a4=27(1/3)^(4-1)=27 times 1/27=1

rate of change=(a4-a2)/(4-2)=(1-9)/(4-2)=-8/2=-4
average rate of change is -4

What is the value of the expression?<br><br> –83

QveST [7]

Value of an expression 8<span>3
</span>in where 8 is the base number and 3 is the exponent.
To get the answer, simply multiply the base number as many times as the exponent says.
Since the exponent is 3 and base is 8, we need to multiply 8 three times.
=> 8 x 8 x 8
<span>=> 512 </span>
Thus, the value of the given equation 83 is equals to 512
to check if our answer is correct, simply divide 512 by 8 twice.
<span>=> 512 / 8 </span>
=> 62 / 8
<span>=> 8</span>

Will mark brainlist if its right

pickupchik [31]

Answer: S<\-2

Hope i was some help.

Step-by-step explanation: sorry I can’t put the right sign my keybored won’t let me but you know what it stands for.

3s+6s</-5(s+2)

start off with -5(s+2) you multiply -5 with s and it is -5s then you do the same for +2 take -5 and multiply by +2 pos times a neg is always a neg so it’s -10.

3s+6<\-5s-10

So you have to get rid of the -5s so your going to do the inverse which is add 5 to -5 and it will get rid of -5s but then you have to add 5 to 3s and that will be 8s.

8s+6</-10

Now your going to get rid of the +6 and to do that you do the inverse you subtract 6 and it will get rid of it now you have to do the same for -10 so you will subtract 6 to -10 and that will equal -16.

Now you have to divide!

8s/8 </ -16/8

And it should equal s <\-2
