Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
f(x) = 3x² - 5x - 4
g(x) = -4x - 12
Step 2: Find f(g(x))
f(g(x)) = 3(-4x - 12)² - 5(-4x - 12) - 4
f(g(x)) = 3(16x² + 96x + 144) + 20x + 60 + 4
f(g(x)) = 48x² + 288x + 432 + 20x + 64
f(g(x)) = 48x² + 308x + 496
Step 3: Find f(g(-4))
f(g(-4)) = 48(-4)² + 308(-4) + 496
f(g(-4)) = 48(16) - 1232 + 496
f(g(-4)) = 768 - 736
f(g(-4)) = 32
Answer:
Hulian's age is 7.
Thomas's age is 22.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Hulian = h
Let Thomas = t
Set the system of equation:
h = t - 15
h + t = 29
Plug in t - 15 for h in the second equation:
(t - 15) + t = 29
Simplify. Combine like terms:
2t - 15 = 29
Isolate the variable, t. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, add 15 to both sides:
2t - 15 (+15) = 29 (+15)
2t = 44
Divide 2 from both sides:
(2t)/2 = (44)2
t = 44/2
t = 22
Plug in 22 for t in one of the equations:
h = t - 15
h = 22 - 15
h = 7
Hulian's age is 7.
Thomas's age is 22.
