Answer:

C. Similarity cannot be determined

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are considered similar when all three angles are equal and also when the ratio of their corresponding side lengths are equal.

Since we only know the angles of the two triangles given and we are not given the side lengths to determine if their corresponding ratio is the same, we therefore cannot determine if the two triangles are similar in anyway.

Part (a)

Locate x = -1 on the x axis. Draw a vertical line through this x value until you reach the f(x) curve. Then move horizontally until you reach the y axis. You should arrive at y = 4. Check out the diagram below to see what I mean.

Since f(-1) = 4, this means we can then say

g( f(-1) ) = g( 4 ) = 4

To evaluate g(4), we'll follow the same idea as what we did with f(x). However, we'll start at x = 4 and draw a vertical line until we reach the g(x) curve this time.

<h3>Answer: 4</h3>

==========================================================

Part (b)

We use the same idea as part (a)

f(-2) = 5

g( f(-2) ) = g(5) = 6

<h3>Answer: 6</h3>

==========================================================

Part (c)

Same idea as the last two parts. We start on the inside and work toward the outside. Keep in mind that g(x) is now the inner function for this part and for part (d) as well.

g(1) = -2

f( g(1) ) = f(-2) = 5

<h3>Answer: 5</h3>

==========================================================

Part (d)

Same idea as part (c)

g(2) = 0

f( g(2) ) = f( 0 ) = 3

<h3>Answer: 3</h3>
