That funky circle in the middle is the composition of the function. It asks you to take a function as an input and to yield an output that's another function. It's one of the five function operations, along with adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.
When you compose, you might find the notation w(u(x)) easier to understand. It's saying evaluate u then evaluate w.
For our functions, the compositions are:
u(w(x)) = u(2x²) = -(2x²) - 2 = -2x² - 2
w(u(x)) = w(-x - 2) = 2(-x - 2)² = 2(x² + 4x + 4) = =2x²+ 8x +8
Now we evaluate each composition at 4.
u(w(4)) = -2(4²) - 2 = -2(16) - 2 = -32 -2 = -34
w(u(4)) = -2(2²) +8(2) + 8 = -2(4) + 16 + 8 = -8 + 16 + 8 = 16.
Thus, u(w(4)) = -34 and w(u(4)) = 16.
456.89 would be 456.9 rounded to the nearest tenth.
The probability is 4⋅3⋅2⋅1/10•9•8•7=(4/4)(6/0)/(10/4)=1/210 so the probability of selecting 3 red balls would be 1/210

Answer:
Hi there!
Your answer is:
996 students were apart of this survey!
Step-by-step explanation:
3 out of 4 students means that 75% of students prefer the assemblies be held on Friday.
If 75% = 747 students then:
/75
1% = 9.96 students
×100
100% = 996 students
I hope this makes sense!
