If f(g(x)) = (x-3)^4 what is f(x) and g(x)

Mathematics

One possible solution is

f(x) = x^4

g(x) = x-3

Since

f(x) = x^4

f(g(x)) = ( g(x) )^4

f(g(x)) = ( x-3 )^4

=================================================

Another possible solution could be

f(x) = x^2

g(x) = (x-3)^2

Because

f(x) = x^2

f(g(x)) = ( g(x) )^2

f(g(x)) = ( (x-3)^2 )^2

f(g(x)) = (x-3)^(2*2)

f(g(x)) = (x-3)^4

Write the inverse variation function given that y varies inversely with x, and y = 0.25 when x = 8.

storchak [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a given variable varies inversely with another variable, an increase in the value of the given variable would cause a corresponding decrease in the value of the other variable. Also, a decrease in the value of the given variable would cause a corresponding increase in the value of the other variable.

If y varies inversely with x, we would introduce a cost of variation, k so that the expression becomes

y = k/x

When y = 0.25, x = 8

Substituting into the expression above, it becomes

0.25 = k/8

k = 0.25 × 8

k = 2

The inverse variation function is

y = 2/x

There are 364 students who are enrolled in an introductory biology course. If there are five boys to every eight girls, how many

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The number of boys in the course will be = 140

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of students enrolled in an introductory biology course = 364

There are 5 boys to every 8 girls in the course.

To find how many boys are in the course.

Solution:

Since, there are 5 boys to every 8 girls in the course.

So, ratio of boys to girls enrolled in the course = 5 : 8

Let the number of boys in the course be = $5x$

Then number of girls in the course will be = $8x$

Total number of students would be given as:

⇒ <em>Number of boys + Number of girls</em>

⇒ $5x+8x$

⇒ $13x$

Total number of students given = 364.

Thus, we have:

$13x=364$

solving for $x$

Dividing both sides by 13.

$\frac{13x}{13}=\frac{364}{13}$

∴ $x=28$

So, number of boys in the course will be = $5\times 28$ = 140

A salesperson’s commission rate is 4%. What is the commission from the sale of $39,000 worth of furnaces? Suppose sales would do

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The earnings will double

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that the sales person's earnings is 4% of the sales made.

given that the sales made is $37,000 worth of furnaces.

Step two:

we want to find 4% of $37,000

=4/100*37000

=0.04*37000

=1480

hence for $37,000 the earning will be $1480.

Now suppose sales is doubled that is 37000*2= 74000

we want to find 4% of $74,000

=4/100*74000

=0.04*74000

=2960.

the earnings is $2960.

So if sales doubles the earnings will double
