Answer: g(f(4))=9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find g(f(4)), you first find f(4). Then, you plug it into g(x).

f(4)=4-7 [subtract]

f(4)=-3

Now, we know f(4) into g(x).

g(f(4))=(-3)² [exponent]

g(f(4))=9

Now, we know that g(f(4))=9.

Phil baked two kinds of pies. Each pie pan was the same size. He served 1/2 of the blueberry pie. He served 1/4 of the apple pie

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Phil served 2/8 of an apple pie because in order to have a common denominator, you need to multiply 1/4 by 2/2.
Phil served 2 more pieces of blueberry than apple pie because 1/2(4/4) = 4/8, and 4/8 - 2/8 = 2/8.

A cylinder has a height of 4 inches greater than the radius of its base. Find the radius and the height to the nearest inch if t

anastassius [24]

Answer:

$h=5in, r=1in$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is:

$V=\pi*r^2*h$

where $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height.

The height is 4 inches greater that the radius, so:

$h=r+4in$

Substituting this in the formula for volume:

$V=\pi*r^2*(r+4)$

the volume is $V=5\pi in^3$

thus:

$5\pi in^3=\pi*r^2*(r+4in)$

Dividing everything between pi:

$5in^3=r^2*(r+4in)$

$5in^3=r^3*+4r^2$

We can see that the solution for this is $r=1in$

since $(1)^3*+4(1)^2=1+4=5$

We have the radius, now we find the height:

$h=r+4in=1in + 4in = 5in$

$h=5in, r=1in$

The height of a football during a punt is modeled by h=-16t^2+60t+3. If the football hits the ground, how long did it stay in th

weqwewe [10]

"how long..." is asking for time (t). "The amount of time spent in the air" is the time from when the ball was kicked (0 seconds) to the time it landed on the ground. Need to find the x-intercepts (one will be negative which will be invalid). You can do this by factoring ... <em>or by using the quadratic formula.</em> With the equation you provided, it is not factorable, so you must use the quadratic formula.

h = -16t² + 60t + 3

a=-16 b=60 c=3

$t = \frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$
