Answer:

The answer to this question is -21.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(g(-3)) says "f at g at -3".

"Evaluating the value of g if x is -3, Then put the value of x into the f function".

g(x) = x - 4

g(-3) = 3x +5

g(-3)=3*(-3)+5

g(-3)=-15+5

g(-3)=-10.

put -10 into the f.

f(x)=2x-1

f(-10)=2*(-10)-1

f(-10)=-20-1

f(-10)=-21.

so f(g(-3))=-21.

Answer:

$11,728

Step-by-step explanation:

Twice a year, for 4 years is 8 times

516×8 = 4128

Yearly for 4 years is 4 times

700×4 = 2800

Every month for 4 years is 48 times

100×48 = 4800

Minimum expenditure:

4128 + 2800 + 4800 = $11,728

shtirl [24]

Answer:

$x_{1} = \frac{176}{127} + \frac{71}{127}x_{4}\\\\ x_{2} = \frac{284}{127} + \frac{131}{254}x_{4}\\\\x_{3} = \frac{845}{127} + \frac{663}{254}x_{4}\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

As the given Augmented matrix is

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}9&-2&0&-4&:8\\0&7&-1&-1&:9\\8&12&-6&5&:-2\end{array}\right]$

Step 1 :

$r_{1}$ ↔ $r_{1} - r_{2}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-14&6&-9&:10\\0&7&-1&-1&:9\\8&12&-6&5&:-2\end{array}\right]$

Step 2 :

$r_{3}$ ↔ $r_{3} - 8r_{1}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-14&6&-9&:10\\0&7&-1&-1&:9\\0&124&-54&77&:-82\end{array}\right]$

Step 3 :

$r_{2}$ ↔ $\frac{r_{2}}{7}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-14&6&-9&:10\\0&1&-\frac{1}{7} &-\frac{1}{7} &:\frac{9}{7} \\0&124&-54&77&:-82\end{array}\right]$

Step 4 :

$r_{1}$ ↔ $r_{1} + 14r_{2}$ , $r_{3}$ ↔ $r_{3} - 124r_{2}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&0&4&-11&:-8\\0&1&-\frac{1}{7} &-\frac{1}{7} &:\frac{9}{7} \\0&0&- \frac{254}{7} &\frac{663}{7} &:-\frac{1690}{7} \end{array}\right]$

Step 5 :

$r_{3}$ ↔ $\frac{r_{3}. 7}{254}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&0&4&-11&:-8\\0&1&-\frac{1}{7} &-\frac{1}{7} &:\frac{9}{7} \\0&0&1&-\frac{663}{254} &:-\frac{1690}{254} \end{array}\right]$

Step 6 :

$r_{1}$ ↔ $r_{1} - 4r_{3}$ , $r_{2}$ ↔ $r_{2} + \frac{1}{7} r_{3}$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&0&0&-\frac{71}{127} &:\frac{176}{127} \\0&1&0&-\frac{131}{254} &:\frac{284}{127} \\0&0&1&-\frac{663}{254} &:\frac{845}{127} \end{array}\right]$

∴ we get

$x_{1} = \frac{176}{127} + \frac{71}{127}x_{4}\\\\ x_{2} = \frac{284}{127} + \frac{131}{254}x_{4}\\\\x_{3} = \frac{845}{127} + \frac{663}{254}x_{4}\\$
