Answer:

f(g(x)) = 9x^2 + 15x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are using function g(x) = 3x - 1 as the input to function f(x) = x^2 + 7x.

Starting with f(x) = x^2 + 7x, substitute g(x) for x on the left side and likewise substitute x^2 + 7x for each x on the right side. We obtain:

f(g(x)) = (3x - 1)^2 + 7(3x - 1).

If we multiply this out, we get:

f(g(x)) = 9x^2 - 6x + 1 + 21x - 7, or

f(g(x)) = 9x^2 + 15x - 6

Algebra I

Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

x = 2y + 5

x/3 - y = 4/3

Step 2: Solve for y

Substitute: (2y + 5)/3 - y = 4/3
Multiply 3 on both sides: 2y + 5 - 3y = 4
Combine like terms: -y + 5 = 4
Isolate y term: -y = -1
Isolate y: y = 1

Step 3: Solve for x

Define: x = 2y + 5
Substitute: x = 2(1) + 5
Multiply: x = 2 + 5
Add: x = 7

And we have our final answer!

g100num [7]

Answer: $(24.28,\ 27.72)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : $n=50$

Sample mean : $\overline{x}=26$

Standard deviation : $\sigma =6.2$

Significance level : $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

Formula to find the confidence interval for population mean :-

$\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=26\pm(1.96)\dfrac{6.2}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\\approx26\pm1.72\\\\=(26-1.72,\ 26+1.72)\\\\=(24.28,\ 27.72)$

Hence, a 95% confidence interval for the population mean = $(24.28,\ 27.72)$
