N(1/3)-8=-13 is the correct answer.
Answer:
y = -4x - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
y + 4 = -4(x + 2)
y = -4x -8 - 4
y = -4x - 12
What you would do is change all the fractions to 20ths so they have a common denominator. For 1/5, you multiply 4x5 to get 20 in the denominator. Whatever you multiply on the bottom, you must do at the top. Do that for all fractions and you would get this:
4/20 + 5/20 + 8/20= 17/20 because denominator stays the same, add the values in the numerator.
ANSWER: 17/20
For part A, you simply add the two functions a(x) and b(x). The resulting function is then (a+b)(x) = 5x +2.
For part B, you multiply the functions a(x) and b(x). Using the FOIL method, we obtain, 6x^2 -24x + 20x - 80. Simplifying, we get, (a*b)(x) = 6x^2 -4x - 80.
For part C, you replace x in the function a(x) with the expression from b(x). This results to: a[b(x)] = 3(2x - 8) +10. Simplifying, a[b(x)] = 6x - 14.
