Answer:

The value of f(g(-2)) is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll start by solving g(-2):

g(-2)\\= (-2)^2 + 2\\= 4 + 2\\= 6

Now we can take that value and plug it into function f:

f(6)\\= \frac{-1}{2}6^2 + 5 * 6\\= -36/2 + 30\\= -18 + 30\\= 12

Alternatively, you can work out a new single function that in itself describes f(g())

f(g(x)) = -\frac{1}{2}g(x)^2 + 5g(x)\\= -\frac{1}{2}(x^2 + 2)^2 + 5(x^2 + 2)\\= -\frac{1}{2}(x^4 + 4x^2 + 4) + 5x^2 + 10\\= -\frac{1}{2}x^4 - 2x^2 - 2 + 5x^2 + 10\\= -\frac{x^4}{2} + 3x^2 + 8

and try plugging -2 into the new function

= - \frac{-2^4}{2} + 3(-2)^2 + 8\\= -16 / 2 + 3 * 4 + 8\\= -8 + 12 + 8\\= 12

Solve f - 6 = 3f + 1
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Simplifying f + -6 = 3f + 1 Reorder the terms: -6 + f = 3f + 1 Reorder the terms: -6 + f = 1 + 3f Solving -6 + f = 1 + 3f Solving for variable 'f'. Move all terms containing f to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3f' to each side of the equation. -6 + f + -3f = 1 + 3f + -3f Combine like terms: f + -3f = -2f -6 + -2f = 1 + 3f + -3f Combine like terms: 3f + -3f = 0 -6 + -2f = 1 + 0 -6 + -2f = 1 Add '6' to each side of the equation. -6 + 6 + -2f = 1 + 6 Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0 0 + -2f = 1 + 6 -2f = 1 + 6 Combine like terms: 1 + 6 = 7 -2f = 7 Divide each side by '-2'. f = -3.5 Simplifying f = -3.5

Jared has some quarters and dimes that total $5.50. If he has 8 more quarters that dimes, how much dimes does Jared have?
MAXImum [283]
Answer: 10 dimes

Solve using system of equations.
q=number of quarters and d=number of dimes
.25q+.10d=5.50 because the total of dimes and quarters is $5.50
8+d=q because there are 8 more quarters than dimes
substitute 8+d for q into the first equation to get .25(8+d)+.10d=5.50
then simplify
2+.35d=5.50
.35d=3.50
d=10 he has 10 dimes
