Answer:

B . (fog)(-4) = - 61

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given f(x) = 4 x + 7, g(x) = 3 x- 5

Now, by the COMPOSITE FUNCTION:

(f o g) (x) = f (g(x))

Now here: )f o g) ( -4) = f (g(-4))

<u>Simplifying for g(x) = 3 x - 5</u>

g(-4) = 3 (-4) - 5 = -12 - 5 = -17

or, g (-4) = -17

Now, <u>for f(x) = 4 x + 7 </u>

f ( g(-4)) = f ( -17) = 4 (-17) + 7

= - 68 + 7 = - 61

or, f ( g(-4)) = - 61

Hence, (fog)(-4) = - 61

They give you: <RSP = 90 degrees

If you look in the diagram, <RSP is vertical to <UPW and vertical angles have the same measure. <RSP = <UPW

So the correct answer is A.

Identify the "inside function" u = f(x) and the "outside function" y = g(u). Then find dy/dx using the Chain Rule.

skad [1K]

DfLet $f(x)=\sec x$ and $g(x)=\sqrt x$ . Then

$y=\sec\sqrt x=\sec(g(x))=f(g(x))=f\circ g(x)$

By the chain rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}$

where $u=g(x)=\sqrt x$ , so that $y=f(g(x))=f(u)=\sec u$ . We have

$\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1{2\sqrt x}$
$\dfrac{\mathrm d\sec u}{\mathrm du}=\sec u\tan u$

and so

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\sec u\tan u\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}=\dfrac{\sec\sqrt x\,\tan\sqrt x}{2\sqrt x}$

The distance around a meter is 9619 ft. find the diameter of the crater .use 22/7 for pie

DochEvi [55]

The circumference of a circle is found with the equation

C = 2 pi * r

Since we have the circumference we can find the radius. Then once we have the radius we can determine the diameter.

9619 = 2 (22/7) r
multiply each side by 7

67333 = 2*22*r
67333 = 44r

divide each side by 44
r = 67333/44 = 1530.295 rounded to the nearest hundredth = 1530.30

The diameter is 2 x the radius, so

1530.30 x 2 = 3060.6 ft

The diameter of the crater is 3060.6 ft

An emu that measures 22 inches in height is 14 inches less than 2 times the height of a stuffed toy canary. What is the height o

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer: The height of the stuffed toy canary is 18 inches so Jesus is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent the first statement by the equation 22= 2x - 14 where x is the height of the stuffed toy canary so solve for x

22 = 2x -14 Add 14 to both sides

+14 +14

36 = 2x Divide both sides by 2

x = 18

Jesus is right.

Three consecutive odd numbers have a sum of 255 what is the value of the largest number

aniked [119]

255 times 3 which gets you an estimate start point
next you start at 83 then 3 more is 85 then 3 more is 87. those are your numbers
