M is the exponent of z inside parentheses. In expanded form, the exponent of z is 8m, so m is 1/8 of the exponent of z.
The value of x
5x+15+17(sides)=45(perimeter of sides/sum of sides)
5x+32=45
5x=45-32
5x=13
x=13/5
x=2.6
The value of x is 2.6
We make the composition of both functions:
f (x) = x ^ 2-1
g (x) = 2x-3
Then:
f (g (x)) = (2x-3) ^ 2-1
Rewriting:
f (g (x)) = 4x ^ 2-12x + 8
The domain of this function is all real numbers.
Equivalently
x: (-inf, inf)
answer:
x: (-inf, inf)
