Answer:

(f - g)(3) = 6

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

Function Notation

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 4x - 2

g(x) = x + 1

Step 2: Find

Find (f - g)(x)

Substitute: (f - g)(x) = 4x - 2 - (x + 1)
Distribute -1: (f - g)(x) = 4x - 2 - x - 1
Combine like terms: (f - g)(x) = 3x - 3

Find (f - g)(3)

Substitute: (f - g)(3) = 3(3) - 3
Multiply: (f - g)(3) = 9 - 3
Subtract: (f - g)(3) = 6

uysha [10]

Rewriting the question, the given lengths that were cut from the board were 30 3/4 inches, 12 1/4 inches, and 16 1/4 inches. To obtain the remaining length of the board, all of the measurements cut are to be added and subtracted from 72 inches. This is shown below:

30 3/4 + 12 1/4 + 16 1/4 = 237/4 = 59.25 inches.

Remaining length of board = 72 - 59.25 = 12.75 inches.

Therefore, there will be 12.75 inches remaining of the board.

Find the geometric mean of the pair of numbers

Svetach [21]

Answer: a. 55

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the geometeric mean between two numbers a and b is given by :-

$G.M. =\sqrt{ab}$

The given numbers are : 275 and 11

The geometric mean of 275 and 11 is given by :-

$G.M.=\sqrt{275\times11}\\\\\Rightarrow\ G.M. =\sqrt{3025}\\\\\Rightarrow\ G.M.=\sqrt{55\times55}\\\\\Rightarrow\ G.M.=\sqrt{55^2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ G.M.=55$

Hence, the geometric mean of 275 and 11 is 55.

So , the correct option is a. 55 .

Find endpoint with given endpoint and midpoint

TEA [102]

Answer:

(21, 17 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the midpoint formula and equating to the coordinates of the midpoint.

Let endpoint 2 have coordinates (x, y ), then

0.5(x - 3) = 9 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

x - 3 = 18 ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 21

and

0.5(y - 5) = 6 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

y - 5 = 12 ( add 5 to both sides )

y = 17

endpoint 2 = (21, 17 )
