The answer is (f o g)(x) = 2x^2 - 13
In order to find a composite function, you take the first letter (in this case f) and use that equation. You then remove the variable and put in the second letter (g).
f(x) = 2x + 1 ----> Remove variable.
f(x) = 2( ) + 1 ----> Insert g(x)
(f o g)(x) = 2(x^2 - 7) + 1 ----> Distribute
(f o g)(x) = 2x^2 - 14 + 1 ----> Simplify
(f o g)(x) = 2x^2 - 13
12: 1.8= 20/3. => the answer is 20/3 miles
You have 28 meters of fence to make 3 sides.
28/3 = 9.3333
The pen will be 9.3333 by 9.3333 meters
Well I don't know.
Let's think about it:
-- There are 6 possibilities for each role.
So 36 possibilities for 2 rolls.
Doesn't take us anywhere.
New direction:
-- If the first roll is odd, then you need another odd on the second one.
-- If the first roll is even, then you need another even on the second one.
This may be the key, right here !
-- The die has 3 odds and 3 evens.
-- Probability of an odd followed by another odd = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4
-- Probability of an even followed by another even = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4
I'm sure this is it. I'm a little shaky on how to combine those 2 probs.
Ah hah !
Try this:
Probability of either 1 sequence or the other one is (1/4) + (1/4) = 1/2 .
That means ... Regardless of what the first roll is, the probability of
the second roll matching it in oddness or evenness is 1/2 .
So the probability of 2 rolls that sum to an even number is 1/2 = 50% .
Is this reasonable, or sleazy ?
Perimeter is adding all 4 sides together:
8 + 8 + 9x + 9x
Simplify by coming like terms to get:
18x + 16
The answer is d. 18x + 16
