Answer:

doctorate salary:  d = $71,000

bachelor salary:     b = $55,000

Step-by-step explanation:

doctorate salary:  d

bachelor salary:     b

relationship between b and d:  d = 2b - $39,000

Unfortunately, your "1 + 126,000" could not be correct.  I'm going to assume that the total of the two salaries is $126,000.  If that's the case, then:

bachelor salary + (2 times bachelor salary less $39,000) = $126,000.  In symbols,

b + 2b - $39,000 = $126,000

Consolidating the 'b' terms results in 3b - $39,000 = $126,000, and so:

3b = $126,000 + $39,000 = $165,000

Dividing both sides by 3 yields the bachelor salary:  b = $55,000

Then the doctoral salary is 2b - $39,000 = 2($55,000) - $39,000, or $71,000.

Check:  Does b + (2b - $39,000) = $126,000?  Yes.

Then the doctoral salary is d = $103,000, and the bachelor salary $29,000

A) Let f(x) = 4x + 2 and g(x) = 2x^2-4. Find the formula for the composition function gof
ollegr [7]

Answer:

g o f = g(f(x)) = 32x^2 + 32x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 4x +2

g(x) =2x^2 - 4

Required:

Find g o f

This is calculated as:

gof = g(f(x))

g(x) =2x^2 - 4

So:

g(f(x)) = 2(4x+2)^2 - 4

g(f(x)) = 2(4x+2)(4x+2) - 4

g(f(x)) = 2[ 16x^2 + 16x + 4)] - 4

g(f(x)) = 32x^2 + 32x + 8 - 4

g(f(x)) = 32x^2 + 32x + 4
