•   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. =)

Fill in the missing statement and reason in the proof of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

∠EGB and ∠AGF are congruent;

Transitive Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical angles theorem is about the angles that are opposite to each other. These angles are formed when two lines cross each other

Vertical angles are congruent i.e their measures are equal

Look at the attached graph

Given:

AB // CD

E , G , H , F are col-linear

The line which contains points E , G , H , F is a transversal for the parallel lines AB and CD

∵ AB and EF intersected at point G

∴ m∠EGB = m∠AGF ⇒ by the vertical angles theorem

When lines AB and EF intersected at G they formed opposite angles like angles EGB and AGF, then angles EGB and AGF are congruent (  vertical angle theorem)

∵ AB // CD and EF is a transversal

∴ m∠AGF = m∠CHF (corresponding angles theorem)

Transitive Property of Equality:  if one angle is equal to two other angles, then the two other angles are equal

 Therefore, If a = b and b = c, then a = c

∵ m∠EGB = m∠AGF

∵ m∠AGF = m∠CHF

∴ m∠EGB = m∠CHF (transitive property theorem)

 ∠EGB and ∠AGF are congruent; Transitive Property of Equality
