•   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. =)

X-5y= -40<br> 18x - 5y = 45<br> What is the answer to this
baherus [9]

Answer:

(5, 9)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  1. Brackets
  2. Parenthesis
  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction
  • Left to Right

Equality Properties

  • Multiplication Property of Equality
  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtract Property of Equality

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

x - 5y = -40

18x - 5y = 45

<u>Step 2: Rewrite Systems</u>

18x - 5y = 45

  1. Multiply both sides by -1:                     -18x + 5y = -45

<u>Step 3: Redefine Systems</u>

x - 5y = -40

-18x + 5y = -45

<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

<em>Elimination</em>

  1. Combine equations:                    -17x = -85
  2. Divide -17 on both sides:             x = 5

<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

  1. Define equation:                    x - 5y = -40
  2. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                       5 - 5y = -40
  3. Isolate <em>y</em> term:                        -5y = -45
  4. Isolate <em>y</em>:                                 y = 9
