Answer:
Ok:
Step-by-step explanation:
So f°g . means f(g(x)). (The ° should be more center and bigger but I don't know to do that on a keyboard). f(g(x)) means that you replace the x in f(x) with the g(x) function. i.e:
if f(x) = 2x+2
and g(x) = 
f(g(x)) = 
.
Similarly, in this case, we get f(x) = 2x-3 and g(x) = 3x-2.
Then, f(g(x)) or f°g(x) is 2(3x-2) - 3.
And we plug in -2 to solve:
2(3(-2)-2)-3.
and get -19.
Check if I am wrong because everyone makes mistakes but that is the way to solve this.
Answer:
6"
Step-by-step explanation:
6'2" - 5'6" = 0'6"
Because this is a positive parabola, it opens upwards, like a cup, and the vertex dictates what the minimum value of the function is. In order to determine the vertex, I recommend completing the square. Do that by first setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the 9 to the other side by subtraction. So far:
. Now, to complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, and add that number to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3 and 3 squared is 9. So add 9 to both sides.
. The right side reduces to 0, and the left side simplifies to the perfect square binomial we created while completing this process.
. Move the 0 back over and the vertex is clear now. It is (-3, 0). Therefore, 0 is the minimum point on your graph. The first choice above is the one you want.
Answer:
Answer A represents this
x <= -3 ; x > 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate x on each of the inequalities:
4 x + 4 <= - 8
subtract 4 from both sides
4 x <= - 12
divide both sides by 4 to isolate x completely (notice 4 is positive, so there is NO flipping of the inequality symbol)
x <= -3
This inequality is represented by shading the left section of the number line starting at x = -3 (make sure you draw a SOLID dot to mae clear that the point x = -3 is also included in your drawing.
The other inequality:
11 x - 11 > 88
add 11 to both sides
11 x > 99
divide both sides by 11 to isolate x (notice again that 11 is a positive number, so the inequality doesn't change with the division)
x > 9
This inequality is represented by shadowing the right hand side of the number line starting at x = 9. Make sure you draw an EMPTY dot on the number 9 to indicate that x = 9 is NOT included.
