That funky circle in the middle is the composition of the function. It asks you to take a function as an input and to yield an output that's another function. It's one of the five function operations, along with adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.

When you compose, you might find the notation w(u(x)) easier to understand. It's saying evaluate u then evaluate w.

For our functions, the compositions are:

u(w(x)) = u(2x²) = -(2x²) - 2 = -2x² - 2

w(u(x)) = w(-x - 2) = 2(-x - 2)² = 2(x² + 4x + 4) = =2x²+ 8x +8

Now we evaluate each composition at 4.

u(w(4)) = -2(4²) - 2 = -2(16) - 2 = -32 -2 = -34

w(u(4)) = -2(2²) +8(2) + 8 = -2(4) + 16 + 8 = -8 + 16 + 8 = 16.

Thus, u(w(4)) = -34 and w(u(4)) = 16.

If the purchase price for a house is $309,900, what is the monthly payment if you put 20% down for a 30 year loan with a fixed r
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

$1486.41.

Step-by-step explanation:

Purchase price = $309,900

Down payment percent = 20 %

Remaining amount Percentage  = 100-20 = 80%

Mortgage amount = 309900 \times 0.80

                              =247920

Formula of monthly payment : P =\frac{\frac{rM}{1 -(1 +\frac{r}{n})^-{nt}}}{n}

where P = the payment,

r = the annual rate =6% = 0.06

M = the mortgage amount = $247920

t = the number of years=30

n = the number of payments per year= 12

Substitute the values.

P =\frac{\frac{0.06 \times 247920}{1 -(1 +\frac{0.06}{12})^-{12\times 30}}}{12}

P=1486.40566196

Hence the monthly payment is $1486.41.

Thus Option C is correct.

What is the value of i^20+1?
ICE Princess25 [194]

You know

i^2=-1

Squaring both sides gives

(i^2)^2=(-1)^2\implies i^4=1

Then raising both sides to any integer power n gives

(i^4)^n=1^n\implies i^{4n}=1

That is, any power of i where the power is a multiple of 4 will always be equal to 1.

So

i^{20}+1=1+1=2

But perhaps you mean to write 20+1 as the exponent, in which case

i^{20+1}=i^{20}i=i
