Answer:

9670 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height given (8219.5 ft) is 85% OF ORIGINAL, hence original is much higher. But how do we figure this out?

we translate word problem to equation.

8219.5 IS 85% of TOTAL

Firstly, 85% = 85/100 = 0.85

Remember, is means =

of means multiplication

So we have:

8219.5 = 0.85 * Total

Hence, total = [let total be 7]

8219.5 = 0.85 * t

t = 8219.5/0.85 = 9670 feet

F(x) = x + 4 and g(x) = 2x + 3, evaluate each expression.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

$15.~f(g(2))=\Large\boxed{11}\\$

$16.~g(f(2.5))=\Large\boxed{16}$

$17.~g(f(-5))=\Large\boxed{1}$

$18.~f(g(-5))=\Large\boxed{-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given information</h3>

$f(x)=x+4$

$g(x)=2x+3$

<h3>Question 15. f(g(2))</h3>

<u>Substitute values into the first function</u>

$g(2)=2(2)+3$

$g(2)=4+3$

$g(2)=7$

<u>Substitute the values of the first function into the second</u>

$f(g(2))=f(7)$

$f(7)=(7)+4$

$f(7)=\Large\boxed{11}$

<h3>Question 16. g(f(2.5))</h3>

<u>Substitute values into the first function</u>

$f(2.5)=(2.5)+4$

$f(2.5)=6.5$

<u />

<u>Substitute the values of the first function into the second</u>

$g(f(2.5))=g(6.5)$

$g(6.5)=2(6.5)+3$

$g(6.5)=13+3$

$g(6.5)=\Large\boxed{16}$

<h3>Question 17. g(f(-5))</h3>

<u>Substitute values into the first function</u>

$f(-5)=(-5)+4$

$f(-5)=-1$

<u>Substitute the values of the first function into the second</u>

$g(f(-5))=g(-1)$

$g(-1)=2(-1)+3$

$g(-1)=-2+3$

$g(-1)=\Large\boxed{1}$

<h3>Question 18. f(g(-5))</h3>

<u>Substitute values into the first function</u>

$g(-5)=2(-5)+3$

$g(-5)=-10+3$

$g(-5)=-7$

<u>Substitute the values of the first function into the second</u>

$f(g(-5))=f(-7)$

$f(-7)=(-7)+4$

$f(-7)=\Large\boxed{-3}$

Hope this helps!! :)
