Answer:
only the first option is equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
Answer: f( h(x) ) = 2x - 4</h3>
Work Shown:
f(x) = x - 7
f( h(x) ) = h(x) - 7
f( h(x) ) = 2x+3 - 7
f( h(x) ) = 2x - 4
Explanation:
In the second step, I replaced every x with h(x). In the next step, I replaced the h(x) on the right hand side with 2x+3. From there I combined like terms.
Answer:
Area of the rhombus, A = 22.5 sq. ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rhombus = a. b
where, a = side of the rhombus
and b = height of the rhombus.
Here, the side, a = 5 ft
Height, b = 4.5 ft.
Therefore, area, A = 5 X 4.5 sq. ft
⇒ A = 22.5 sq. ft which is the required answer.

The distance between Sarah and Jack is approximately 22 miles
The distance between Sarah and Jack is approximately 9 miles

The graphed polynomial seems to have a degree of 2, so the degree can be 4 and not 5.
<h3>
Could the graphed function have a degree 4?</h3>
For a polynomial of degree N, we have (N - 1) changes of curvature.
This means that a quadratic function (degree 2) has only one change (like in the graph).
Then for a cubic function (degree 3) there are two, and so on.
So. a polynomial of degree 4 should have 3 changes. Naturally, if the coefficients of the powers 4 and 3 are really small, the function will behave like a quadratic for smaller values of x, but for larger values of x the terms of higher power will affect more, while here we only see that as x grows, the arms of the graph only go upwards (we don't know what happens after).
Then we can write:
y = a*x^4 + c*x^2 + d
That is a polynomial of degree 4, but if we choose x^2 = u
y = a*u^2 + c*u + d
So it is equivalent to a quadratic polynomial.
Then the graph can represent a function of degree 4 (but not 5, as we can't perform the same trick with an odd power).
