•   Interpretation I:

Find f and g, so that

                           4
(f o g)(x)  =  —————
                       x² + 9


Well, there is more than one possibility.

                                                     4
For instance, It can be:  f(x)  =  ——  and  g(x) = x² + 9,
                                                     x


and then you have

                          
(f o g)(x)  =  f[ g(x) ]

                         4
(f o g)(x)  =  ————
                       g(x)


                         4
(f o g)(x)  =  —————        ✔
                      x² + 9

                                                                                    4
Another possibility for that composition:   f(x)  =  —————  and  g(x) = x²,
                                                                                 x + 9

and for those, you get

(f o g)(x)  =  f[ g(x) ]

                             4
(f o g)(x)  =  ———————
                     [ g(x) ]² + 9

                           4
(f o g)(x)  =  —————          ✔
                       x² + 9


As you can see above, there are many ways to find f and g, so the composition of those is  (f o g)(x) = 4/(x² + 9).

—————

•  Interpretation II:

Find f and g, so that

                      4
(f o g)(x)  =  ——  +  9
                      x²

                                                            4
It can be:   f(x) = x + 9  and  g(x)  =  ——
                                                            x²

and then you have

(f o g)(x) = f[ g(x) ]

(f o g)(x) = g(x) + 9

                     4
(f o g)(x)  =  ——  +  9
                     x²

                                                                             2
or it could be also:   f(x) = x² + 9  and  g(x)  =  ——
                                                                             x


and you have again

(f o g)(x) = f[ g(x) ]

(f o g)(x) = [ g(x) ]² + 9

(f o g)(x) = [ 2/x ]² + 9

(f o g)(x) = (2²/x²) + 9

                      4
(f o g)(x)  =  ——  +  9          ✔
                     x²


As you can see above, there are many ways to find f and g, so the composition of those is  (f o g)(x) = (4/x²) + 9.


I hope this helps. =)

Use the information to answer the following question.
Zanzabum

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the difference between 0 and -10 is 10, this means that the difference between the diving board and the pool also has to be 10. Therefore, the diving board is 10 feet above the water since 0+10 is 10.

The mean of five numbers is 8. when another number is added the mean is 7. find the number added
sasho [114]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \ \ 2  \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

<u>The mean of five numbers is 8</u> so we can write

\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5}{5}=8

<u>When another number is added the mean is 7</u>, let s note x the another number we can write

\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5+x}{6}=7

From the first equation we can say

x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5=8*5=40

So the second equation becomes

\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5+x}{6}=7\\\\ \dfrac{40+x}{6}=7\\\\40 + x = 6*7=42\\\\ x = 42-40 = 2\\

The solution is then 2

Hope this helps
