Answer:

The value of (fg)(-2) is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given f(x)=8-1x and g(x)=5x+4 and we need to find (fg)(-2)

First we will replace the 'x' in f(x) with g(x) to find (fg)(x) i.e

f(x) = 8 -1x\\(fg)(x) = 8 - 1(5x+4)\\(fg)(x) = 8 - 5x - 4\\(fg)(x) = - 5x+4

Now we will put the value of x = -2 to find (fg)(-2) i.e

(fg)(x) = - 5x+4\\(fg)(-2) = - 5(-2)+4\\(fg)(-2) = 10+4\\(fg)(-2) = 14

So, the value of (fg)(-2) is 14

Alex buys 2 1/2 pounds of grapes. He buys 1 1/4 times as many pounds of apples as grapes. How many pounds of apples does he buy?
galina1969 [7]
Given:
grapes = 2 1/2 pounds
apples = 1 1/4 times as many pounds as grapes.

For easier computation, let us convert these fractions into numbers with decimal places.

2 1/2 pounds = 2.50 pounds
1 1/4 times = 1.25

Apples = 2.50 pounds * 1.25 = 3.125 pounds of apples.

Or we still use fractions. We need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

2 1/2 = 5/2
1 1/4 = 5/4

5/2 * 5/4 = 5*5 / 2*4 = 25/8 is simplified to 3 1/8 pounds
