Part (a)
Locate x = -1 on the x axis. Draw a vertical line through this x value until you reach the f(x) curve. Then move horizontally until you reach the y axis. You should arrive at y = 4. Check out the diagram below to see what I mean.
Since f(-1) = 4, this means we can then say
g( f(-1) ) = g( 4 ) = 4
To evaluate g(4), we'll follow the same idea as what we did with f(x). However, we'll start at x = 4 and draw a vertical line until we reach the g(x) curve this time.
<h3>Answer: 4</h3>==========================================================
Part (b)
We use the same idea as part (a)
f(-2) = 5
g( f(-2) ) = g(5) = 6
<h3>Answer: 6</h3>==========================================================
Part (c)
Same idea as the last two parts. We start on the inside and work toward the outside. Keep in mind that g(x) is now the inner function for this part and for part (d) as well.
g(1) = -2
f( g(1) ) = f(-2) = 5
<h3>Answer: 5</h3>==========================================================
Part (d)
Same idea as part (c)
g(2) = 0
f( g(2) ) = f( 0 ) = 3
<h3>Answer: 3</h3>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of a rational number as a fraction. The definition of a rational number is that it is the ratio of integers that, when divided, is either an integer, a decimal that terminates, or a decimal that repeats. 6/3 = 2 (6/3 is a rational number that divides to 2); 1/2 = .5 (1/2 is a rational number that divides to .5 which is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends); 1/3 = .33333333 (1/3 is a rational number that divides to .3333333 which is a repeating decimal). If we want to express 3.24 as a rational number, let's first put it into fraction form. The 4 in .24 is in the hundredths place, so as a fraction, .24 is 24/100. Check this on your calculator. Divide 24 by 100 and you get .24. So now what we have is
Now express that mixed fraction as an improper and you're done. 3 times 100 is 300; 300 + 24 = 324. Put that back over 100 and your rational number is 324/100. Check that on your calculator, as well, just to see that it's true.
