The composite function
works like this:
- Take a number
as input - Evaluate h(x) = 3x. Let's call this output z.
- Evaluate g(x) = 1/(z+2)
So, if we substitute back z = 3x, the final output is 1/(3x+2). We know that the denominator of a fraction can't be zero, so we must impose

10.041 is standard form and I don't know the expanded form
Subtract the rental fee, then divide the left over amount by the cost per hour.
38-10 = 28
28 / 7 = 4
The answer is 4 hours.
Let
x--------> the number
we know that
11²=121
12²=144
then
x² must be greater than 121 and less than 144
case a) <span>√115
if x=</span><span>√115
then
x</span>²=115-------> is not greater than 121
case b) <span>√121
</span>if x=√121
then
x²=121-------> is not greater than 121
case c) <span>√136
</span>if x=√136
then
x²=136-------> is greater than 121 and is less than 144------> is ok
case d) <span>√150
</span>if x=√150
then
x²=150------> is not less than 144
therefore
the answer is
√136
