Answer:
g(4) = 7 and f(g(4)) = 43
Step-by-step explanation:
First find g:
g(x) = 3x-5
g(x) = 3(4) - 5
g(x) = 12 - 5
g(x) = 7
Plug in:
f(g(4))
f(7)
Now, find f:
7^2 - 7 + 1
49 - 7 + 1
42 + 1
f(x) = 43
Remember that for a function of the form

, a parabola, the focus will be:

.
We know that the vertex of the parabola is (0,0), and the sun is the focus of the parabola; we also know that the focus is in the positive y-axis and when the comet is as its vertex, the distance between them is 60'000.000 km; therefore the focus of our parabola is (0, 60'000.000).
Now that we know the focus, we can find

using the focus of the parabola:




Now, the only thing left is replacing the value of

in our equation

:

We can conclude that the equation that represents the path of the comet is
Make sure and use distributive property on the ones multiplying by what’s in the parentheses
