Answer: g(h(3)) = 59
Step-by-step explanation:
Well if its x^3 I assume it is because you wrote other coefficients before the variable.
2(3) - 2 = 6-2 = 4
So 4 is the x input for h(x)
4^3 -5 = 64-5 = 59
Technically this is a line segment, but since that is not an option. choose the answer “line”
If you choose 10 swimmers and 4 are Stingrays, you can say that Stingrays make up roughly 40% of the swimmers. If 20 Stingrays make up 40% of all the swimmers, we just have to find what number 20 is 40% of. That’s easy enough by cross multiplication:
20/x = 40/100
20/x = 4/10
20/x = 2/5
x = 50.
Double check by multiplying 50 * 0.4. Since 50 * 0.4 = 20, we know we have the right answer. There are about 50 swimmers on this team.
