Answer:
I think its -12. If you apply y2-y1/ x2-x1 to the equation.
This answer is a. Just do distributive property
I think this is a least common multiple question
So they would all arrive on day 504, (which probably is a few years)
8 = 2 × 2 × 2
18 = 2 × 3 × 3
21 = 3 × 7
I might be right I might be wrong, IM not positively sure but yknow
You could actually find the compositions and thus have something to compare. You haven't shared the list of possible answer choices.
(f+g)(x) = 5x - 3 + x + 4 = 6x + 1
(f-g)(x) = 5x - 3 - x - 4 = 4x - 7
(f*g)(x) = (5x-3)((x+4) = 5x^2 + 20x - 3x - 12 = 5x^2 + 17x - 12
There are also the quotient (f/g)(x) and the compositions f(g(x)) and g(f(x)).
WRite them out.
Then you could arbitrarily select x values, such as 2, 10, etc., subst. them into each composition and determine which output is greatest.
