So slope intercept form is y=mx+b
m=slope b=y intercept
convert current equation to slpe intercept
y-4=x-8
add 4 to both sides
y=x-4
tada
The legs are 5 inches long.
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
The length of the hypotenuse of the triangle is approximately 7 inches long.
Use the slope formula
y2-y1
m=---------
x2-x1
(rise-->y over run-->x)
so it would be
9-5
m=-------
1-10
and that would simplify to
4
----
-9
and that would be your slope.
Hope that helped :-)
(f ° g) (x) means the composition of the two functions in this order f (g (x) )
So, given f(x) = - 9x + 9 and g(x) = √(x + 1), you must do this:
f(g(x)) = - 9 [ g(x) ] + 9 = - 9 [√(x+1) ] + 9 => f(g(24) = - 9 √(24 + 1) + 9 = - 9√25 + 9 =
= -9(5) + 9 = -45 + 9 = - 36
Answer: - 36
