Answer:
Part 1) 
Part 2) 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A composite function is a function that depends on another function. A composite function is created when one function is substituted into another function
we have


Part 1) Determine f(g(x))
To find f(g(x)) substitute the function g(x) as the variable in function f(x)
so

Part 2) Determine g(f(x))
To find g(f(x)) substitute the function f(x) as the variable in function g(x)
so

For x=5


To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have that the ellipse given as a vertical major axis (a=13), therefore, taking the ellipse with its center at the origin, you have the following equation:
(y^2/a^2)+(x^2/b^2)=1
2. You have the distance from the center of the ellipse to the focus:
c=12, therefore, you can calculate the value of b, the minor radius:
c^2=a^2-b^2
b=√(13^3-12^2)
b=5
3. Therefore, the equation is:
a^2=169
b^2=25
(y^2/169)+(x^2/25)=1
The answer is: (y^2/169)+(x^2/25)=1
You know they are parallel because the lines will never intersect or meet. (Two straight lines usually mean it is parallel)
The tree is 52.8 feet, since the hypotenuse is only part of the tree, you have to add 12, since then it would equal the total height of the tree.
a^2+b^2=c^2
12^2+ 39^2=c^2
144+1521= 1665
√1665
= 40.8
40.8 + 12
= 52.8 feet
