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.

What does 49.39 round to.
Verizon [17]
If you want to round 49.39 to the nearest tenths place you will have to look at your tenths digit. The digit is 3, right? Look at the next number after 3. It is the number 9 for the hundredths place. If the number is bigger than 5 you round it. If it is smaller, you keep it the same. 9 is bigger than 5 so you make the 3 into a 4. Then, you're answer is 49.4 or 49.40 (Which are basically the same answer) It also works the same with the other digits. Simple, right? :)

can you solve the question but tell me how to do it I'm trying to study but don't know how to solve it?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

8x+19=9x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(8x + 19) = (9x + 9)

Reorder the terms:

(19 + 8x) = (9x + 9)

Remove parenthesis around (19 + 8x)

19 + 8x = (9x + 9)

Reorder the terms:

19 + 8x = (9 + 9x)

Remove parenthesis around (9 + 9x)

19 + 8x = 9 + 9x

Solving

19 + 8x = 9 + 9x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.

19 + 8x + -9x = 9 + 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 8x + -9x = -1x

19 + -1x = 9 + 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0

19 + -1x = 9 + 0

19 + -1x = 9

Add '-19' to each side of the equation.

19 + -19 + -1x = 9 + -19

Combine like terms: 19 + -19 = 0

0 + -1x = 9 + -19

-1x = 9 + -19

Combine like terms: 9 + -19 = -10

-1x = -10

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = 10

Simplifying

x = 10

State whether or not the following triangles are similar. If not, explain why not. If so, write a similarity statement
valentinak56 [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) ∆RLG ~ ∆NCP; SF: 3/2 (smaller to larger)

  b) no; different angles

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The triangles will be similar if their angles are congruent. The scale factor will be the ratio of any side to its corresponding side.

The third angle in ∆RLG is 180° -79° -67° = 34°. So, the two angles 34° and 67° in ∆RLG match the corresponding angles in ∆NCP. The triangles are similar by the AA postulate.

Working clockwise around each figure, the sequence of angles from lower left is 34°, 79°, 67°. So, we can write the similarity statement by naming the vertices in the same order: ∆RLG ~ ∆NCP.

The scale factor relating the second triangle to the first is ...

  NC/RL = 45/30 = 3/2

__

b) In order for the angles of one triangle to be congruent to the angles of the other triangle, at least one member of a list of two of the angles must match for the two triangles. Neither of the numbers 57°, 85° match either of the numbers 38°, 54°, so we know the two triangles have different angle measures. They cannot be similar.
