Sounds like rearranging to me:

P=2(a+b) -- expand brackets
P=2a+2b -- subtract 2a
P-2a=2b -- divide by 2

b=(P-2a)/2

P=2(a+b)\\
P=2a+2b\\
2b=P-2a\\
b=\frac{P-2a}{2}

Find the difference quotient <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bf%28x%20%2B%20h%29%20-%20f%28x%29%7D%7Bh%7D" id="TexFor

Answer:

-2x - h - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Difference Quotient: \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}

f(x) = -x² - 3x + 1

f(x + h) means that x = (x + h)

f(x) is just the normal function

Step 2: Find difference quotient

  1. <u>Substitute:</u> \frac{[-(x+h)^2-3(x+h)+1]-(-x^2-3x+1)}{h}
  2. <u>Expand and Distribute:</u> \frac{[-(x^2+2hx+h^2)-3x-3h+1]+x^2+3x-1}{h}
  3. <u>Distribute:</u> \frac{-x^2-2hx-h^2-3x-3h+1+x^2+3x-1}{h}
  4. <u>Combine like terms:</u> \frac{-2hx-h^2-3h}{h}
  5. <u>Factor out </u><em><u>h</u></em><u>:</u> \frac{h(-2x-h-3)}{h}
  6. <u>Simplify:</u> -2x - h - 3

The asset turnover of Ryan Company is 7.2. The total assets of Ryan are $88,000. Ryan's net sales were:
nikitadnepr [17]
Let A be asset turnover, R revenue, and S assets. You already know the equation for asset turnover:
A = R/S

Since we need to calculate revenue, we need to modify the equation a bit:
R = A*S
R = 7.2*88000
R = 633,600

This means that Ryan's net sales (revenue) were $633,600.

_______________


•  Function:   f(x) = 3x + 12.


A.  Finding the inverse of f.

The composition of f with its inverse results in the identity function:

(f o g)(x) = x

f[ g(x) ] = x

3 · g(x) + 12 = x

3 · g(x) = x – 12

              x – 12
g(x)  =  ⸺⸺
                 3

               x 
g(x)  =  ⸺  –  4    <———    this is the inverse of f.
               3

________


B.  Verifying that the composition of f and g gives us the identity function:

•  \mathsf{(f\circ g)(x)}

\mathsf{=f\big[g(x)\big]}\\\\\\ \mathsf{=3\cdot \left(\dfrac{x}{3}-4\right)+12}\\\\\\&#10;\mathsf{=\diagup\hspace{-7}3\cdot \dfrac{x}{\diagup\hspace{-7}3}-3\cdot 4+12}\\\\\\&#10;\mathsf{=x-12+12}\\\\&#10;\mathsf{=x\qquad\quad\checkmark}


and also

•  \mathsf{(g\circ f)(x)}

\mathsf{=g\big[f(x)\big]}\\\\\\ \mathsf{=\dfrac{f(x)}{3}-4}\\\\\\ \mathsf{=\dfrac{3x+12}{3}-4}\\\\\\&#10;\mathsf{=\dfrac{\diagup\hspace{-7}3\cdot (x+4)}{\diagup\hspace{-7}3}-4}\\\\\\&#10;\mathsf{=x+4-4}\\\\&#10;\mathsf{=x\qquad\quad\checkmark}

________


C.  Since f and g are inverse, then

f(g(– 2))

= (f o g)(– 2)

= – 2          <span>✔
</span>

•  Call h the compositon of f and g. So,

h(x) = (f o g)(x)

h(x) = x


As you can see above, there is no restriction for h. Therefore, the domain of h is R (all real numbers).


I hope this helps. =)
