Answer: g(f(-1))=-22

Step-by-step explanation:

To find g(f(-1)), you want to first want to solve f(-1). Once you solved that, you plig the answer you get into g(x). Then, you will have your final answer.

f(-1)=-(-1)²+4(-1)-9 [exponent]

f(-1)=-1+4(-1)-9 [multiply]

f(-1)=-1-4-9 [subtract from left to right]

f(-1)=-14

We have found that f(-1)=-14. Now, we know in -14 into g(x) and solve.

g(-14)=(-14)-8 [subtract]

g(-14)=-22

Now, we know that g(f(-1))=-22.

Name two lines in the diagram.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Options (3) and (6)

Step-by-step explanation:

"A straight line is a set of all points between two points and extending beyond these points."

Therefore, from the given diagram,

Arrows connecting set of two points B and C and D and E will be straight lines.

Geometrically we denote them with an arrow over the line.

$\overleftrightarrow {BC}$ and $\overleftrightarrow {DE}$

Therefore, Options (3) and (6) will be the answer.

Choose the correct slope of the line that passes through the points (1, −3) and (3, −5).

Flura [38]

Slope of a line passing though point (x1,y1) nd (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

we have
(1,-3) and (3,-5)
x1=1
y1=-3
x2=3
y2=-5

slope=(-5-(-3))/(3-1)=(-5+3)/(2)=-2/2=-1

slope=-1

Which equation represents a line which is perpendicular to the line y=-4/5x+2?

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

D) 4x + 5y = -30 = -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 5x + 4y = 28 slope = -5/4

b) 4x-5y = -25 slope = 4/5

c) 4y - 5x = -12 slope = 5/4

d) 4x + 5y = -30 slope = -4/5

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The variance for the number of tasters is 4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are tasters, or they are not. The probability of a person being a taster is independent of any other person. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The variance of the binomial distribution is:

$V(X) = np(1-p)$
