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.
3x + 14 = 143
3x = 129
X = 43
Answer:
9/10
1/2+2/5
Since these fractions have different denominators, we need to find the least common multiple of the denominators.The least common multiple of 2 and 5 is 10, so we need to multiply to make each of the denominators = 10
1/2 ∗ 5/5 = 5/10
5/2∗ 2/2= 4/10
Since these fractions have the same denominator, we can just add the numerators
5/10+ 4/10 = 9/10
Answer:
4x² + 12 = 7x
4x² + 12 - 7x = 0
use the quadratic formula and get your answer!
Step-by-step explanation:
Cherish walled 3 blocks in 1 minute.
I know this because 36+÷12=3.
Which three represents the number of blocks walked in one minute.
