In a class of 40 students, everyone has either a pierced nose or a pierced ear. The professor asks everyone with a pierced nose

to raise his or her hand. Seven hands go up. Then the professor asked everyone with a pierced ear to do likewise. This time there are 36 hands raised. How many students have piercings both on their ears and their noses?I would think the obvious answer could be 7 but not necessarily. Can anyone help me with this formula?

Answer:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are total 40 students in a class

No of students with Pierced Nose n(N)=7

No of students with Pierced ear n(E)=36

and we know using sets

n\left ( N\cup E\right )=n\left ( E\right )+n\left ( N\right )-n\left ( N\cap E\right )

where n\left ( N\cup E\right )=Students either nose or ear Pierced

n\left ( N\cap E\right )=no of students having both nose and ear pierced

40=7+36-n\left ( N\cap E\right )

n\left ( N\cap E\right )=43-40=3

F(x)=2x and g(x)=square root of x what is the domain of f(g(x))?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

x\ge 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are:

f(x)=2x


and


g(x)=\sqrt{x}


Now,

f(g(x))=f(\sqrt{x} )


f(g(x))=2\sqrt{x}

The domain refers to values of x for which f(g(x))=2\sqrt{x} is defined.


The  expression under the radical sign must not be negative.

The domain is

x\ge 0

Find the sum (2x−6)+4(x−3)
Degger [83]

Answer: x=-2


Step-by-step explanation: First we can multiply 4 times anything in the parantheses to get rid of it.

(2x-6)+4(x-3)

(2x-6)+4x-12

Then we combine like terms.

(2x-6)+4x-12

6x-6-12

6x-18

Finally we divide both sides 6.

6x-18

6x/6-18/6

x=-2

The final answer is x=-2

Hope this helps!
