Rewrite g(x) as x-1

------

and then substitute this result for x in f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 3:

f(g(x)) = (x-1)^2 / 4^2 - 3(x-1)/4 + 3.

At this point we can substitute the value 5 for x:

f(g(5)) = (5-1)^2 / 4^2 - 3(5-1)/4 + 3

= 16/16 - 3(4/4) + 3 = 1 - 3 + 3 = 1

Therefore, f(g(5)) = 1.

What best describes the distance between two points with coordinates (2,-3) and (-4,2)

Fed [463]

Answer:

Option c (7.8) is the correct alternative.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are:

(x₁, y₁) = (2, -3)

(x₂, y₂) = (-4, 2)

As we know,

The distance between two points will be:

= $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

On substituting the values, we get

= $\sqrt{(-4-2)^2+(2-(-3))^2}$

= $\sqrt{(-4-2)^2+(2+3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{(6)^2+(5)^2}$

= $\sqrt{36+25}$

= $\sqrt{61}$

= $7.8 \ units$

5. Adam spent half of his weekly allowance buying lunch. To earn

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: $11.60

Explanation: First, you want to do 15.1 - 9.3 to find what half of his weekly allowance is, and that would be 5.8, AKA $5.80. Next, you want to multiply that number by 2, which would be 5.8(2) to get 11.6, or your final answer, $11.60.
