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.

The coordinates of point J are (5, −6) and the coordinates of the point K are (7, 8).
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The coordinates of the point one half the distance is (6,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to calculate the coordinates one half of the line segment.

This in another way simply means the coordinates of the midpoint of that segment;

Mathematically;

we proceed with this using the midpoint formula

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

From the question (x1,y1) = (5,-6) while (x2,y2) = (7,8)

let’s say

(x,y) = (5 + 7)/2 , (-6 + 8)/2

(x,y) = 12/2, 2/2

(x,y) = (6,1)
