F(x)=2x an$ g(x)=2x+3,what is the value of f(g(-8))

Fudgin [204]

First plug in g(x) into f(x)

F((g(x))=2(2x+3)

And now you plug in -8

F(g(-8))=2(-16+3)

F(g(-8))=2(-13)

F(g(-8))=-26

A light bulb filament is one-hundredth of an inch thick, with an allowable error of 2 percent. What is the least allowable thick

Andreyy89

Answer:

0.00998 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Thickness of the light bulb filament = 0.01 Inch

Allowable error = 2%.

2% of 0.01 = 0.02 X 0.01 =0.0002 Inch

Therefore, the allowable thickness of the bulb filament

$=0.01 \pm 0.0002 $ Inches$

We can then calculate the least allowable thickness of the filament as:

$=0.01 - 0.0002 \\=0.00998$ Inches$

The least allowable thickness of the filament is 0.00998 Inches.
