Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first, put in (5x-4) for the x in g(x).

g(f(x))=(5x-4)^2 -1

now, FOIL and simplify.

25x^2-40x+16-1

25x^2-40x+15

now, plug in -1 for x.

25(-1)^2-40(-1)+15

25+40+15

Answer:

See below and the attachment.

Explanation:

From 1 to 10, find the sale price to the nearest cent:

1. $239 television; 10% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price-discount\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$239-10\%\times \$239=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$239-0.10\times \$239=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$239-\$23.9=\$215.10$

2. $72 game; 20% discount

You can also multiply by the factor (1 - % discount);

For instance for 20% discount, the factor is 1 - 20% = 1 -0.20 = 0.80. Which means that you can multiply the original price by the factor 0.80 to get the sale price:

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$72\times(1-0.20)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$72\times0.80=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$57.60$

3. $18.95 football; 15% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$18.95\times(1-0.15)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$18.95\times0.85=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$16.11$

4. $10.99 CD; 25% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$10.99\times(1-0.25)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$10.99\times0.75=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$8.24$

5. $149 MP3 player; 40% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$149\times(1-0.40)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$149\times0.60=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$89.40$

6. $213 ski jacket; 30% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$213\times(1-0.30)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$213\times0.70=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$149.10$

7. $595 refrigerator; 20% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$595\times(1-0.20)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$595\times0.80=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$476.00$

8. $64 video game; 25% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$64\times(1-0.25)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$64\times0.75=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$48.00$

9. $119 croquet set; 50% discount

You should not have problems with this: 50% discount means that you will pay half the price.

Hence, the sale price is:

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price/2 \\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$59.50$

10. $14.99 clock; 10% discount

$Sale\text{ }price=Orignal\text{ }price\times factor\\ \\ Sale\text{ }price=\$14.99\times(1-0.10)=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$14.99\times0.90=\\\\ Sale\text{ }price=\$13.49$

11. A radio is on sale for $50. If this price represents a 10% discount from the original price, what is the original price to the nearest nickel? Hint: need to use a proportion to find the whole.

First note that if the discount is 10%, the sale price is 100% - 10% = 90% of the original price.

Let's set the proportion that represents the proportionality between the two ratios, starting with the fact that $ is the 90% and original price is the 100% (the whole part):

First ratio: $50/90

Second ratio: x /100

Proportion: first ratio = second ratio

$\$50/90=x/100$

Solve for x:

$x=100\times\$50/90=\$55.55$

Hence, the original price is $55.55

12. A box of laundry detergent is on sale for $6.50. If this price represents a 40% discount from the original price, what is the original price to the nearest cent?

Use the same hint used in the question above: set a proportion.

Remember a 40% discount means that the sale price is 60% of the original price:

$\$6.50/60=x/100\\ \\ x=100\times\$6.50/60=\$10.83$

13. Determine the price of a $35 basketball that is on sale for 50% off the regular price.

Again, 50% discount means that the sale price will be half of the original price, or the original price will be double of the sale price.

Here, the original price is $35, hence the sale price is $35/2 = $17.50

14. Dominic bought a new alarm clock that was on sale for $18.75. If this price represents a 30% discount from the original price, what is the original price to the nearest cent?

Since the price is after a 30% discount, the sale price is a 70% of the original price, and you set the proportion:

$\$18.75/70=x/100$

Solve for x:

$x=100\times\$18.75/70=\$26.79$

15. Michael bought a new fishing rod. The regular price of the fishing rod was $125.99. He bought it on sale with a 15% discount. Sales tax of 3% is applied to the discounted total. What was the sale price with tax of Michael’s fishing rod to the nearest cent?
