Hey there!
1. To solve 9 x 5 , I could add the number 9 five times . . .
9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 45
9 x 5 = 45 <----
2. I would use the same strategy as the first one, except add the number 8 five times . . .
8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 40
8 x 5 = 40 <----
Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
If f(x) = √x and g(x) = 7x + b, then
f(g(x)) = f(7x + b) = √(7x + b)
If the plot of f(g(x)) passes through (4, 6), then
f(g(4)) = √(7•4 + b) = √(28 + b) = 6
Solve for b :
√(28 + b) = 6
(√(28 + b))² = 6²
28 + b = 36
b = 36 - 28
b = 8
X = 26 because all the angles in a triangle add up to 180.
