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.

Question 19 Only, Please show your work.<br><br> Solve the problem.

Answer:

5\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a diagonal (line segment from one corner to the opposite corner).  You'll form two right triangles with the diagonal being the hypotenuse of both triangles.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem:  (leg)^2 + (leg)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2.

Let  h  represent the length of the hypotenuse.

h^2 = 5^2+5^2\\h^2=25 + 25\\h^2 =50\\h=\sqrt{50}\\h=5\sqrt{2}

The question is just a bit vague. It should say opposite corners.  I'm assuming the question does not mean the length of one side!
