Consider the functions f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = x^2 − 10 What is the value of f[g(3)]?
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Tip: Remember to always start from the inside, which would be g(3), in this case.

The first step in solving this problem is to solve for g(3).

To accomplish this, you must substitute 3 for x into the given equation g(x) = x^2 - 10

  • g(3) = 3^2 - 10
  • g(3) = 9 - 10
  • g(3) = -1

The next step is to substitute the answer of g(3), -1, for x in the given equation f(x) = 2x + 1.

Because the equation is asking for f[g(3)], it becomes f(-1) because g(3) = -1.

  • f(-1) = 2(-1) + 1
  • f(-1) = -2 + 1
  • f(-1) = -1

Therefore, f[g(3)], or f(-1), equals -1

Wally wants to determine the height of a statue that casts a 164-inch shadow by comparing it to his own height and shadow length
nataly862011 [7]

We have been given that Wally wants to determine the height of a statue that casts a 164-inch shadow by comparing it to his own height and shadow length. Wally is 68 inches tall, casts a shadow that is 41 inches in length.

We will use proportions to solve for the height of the statue because proportions state that ratio between two proportional quantities is same.

\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{Shadow of statue}}=\frac{\text{Height of Wally}}{\text{Shadow of Wally}}

Upon substituting our given values in above equation, we will get:

\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{164 cm}}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{\text{41 inch}}

\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{164 cm}}\times \text{164 cm}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{\text{41 inch}}\times \text{164 cm}

\text{Height of statue}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{1}\times 4

\text{Height of statue}=272\text{ inches}

Therefore, the height of the statue is 272 inches.
