Answer:

ab=14.4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is going to be tricky to explain over text, so try to bear with me :) You have the information given above. Let's start with just ad = 11.6 for now. since these are variables, it can also be understood be understood as a times d= 11.6.  Knowing this, we can figure out that d = 11.6/a, when you divide both sides by a. You now have d, so plug (11.6/a) into cd=6.7. You have to do the same thing you did last time, except this time you are aiming to get c by itself. So, multiply both sides by a/11.6 and you get c = (6.7a)/ 11.6.  Guess what, you know c now! so you put (6.7a)/11.6 in for c in the equation given to you earlier, bc =8.3. The math gets a bit messy here, but you basically solve for b here, which, when you crunch the numbers down, ends up being ~14.3705 divided by a. You are looking for ab, so just multiply both sides by a, and round to the nearest tenth so that you have ab= 14.4

Given that f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = the quantity of 3x minus 1, divided by 2, solve for g(f(3)). 5 7 9 10
AlladinOne [14]

The correct answer is 10.

In order to evaluate any composite function, you need to first put the value in for the inside function. In this case f(x) is on the inside along with the number 3. So, we input 3 in for x in f(x).

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(3) = 2(3) + 1

f(3) = 6 + 1

f(3) = 7

Now that we have the value of f(3), we can stick the answer in for the outside function, which is g(x).

g(x) = (3x - 1)/2

g(7) = (3(7) - 1)/ 2

g(7) = (21 - 1)/2

g(7) = 20/2

g(f(3)) = 10
