Answer:
A.) gf(x) = 3x^2 + 12x + 9
B.) g'(x) = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
A.) The two given functions are:
f(x) = (x + 2)^2 and g(x) = 3(x - 1)
Open the bracket of the two functions
f(x) = (x + 2)^2
f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 2x + 4
f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4
and
g(x) = 3(x - 1)
g(x) = 3x - 3
To find gf(x), substitute f(x) for x in g(x)
gf(x) = 3( x^2 + 4x + 4 ) - 3
gf(x) = 3x^2 + 12x + 12 - 3
gf(x) = 3x^2 + 12x + 9
Where
a = 3, b = 12, c = 9
B.) To find g '(12), you must first find the inverse function of g(x) that is g'(x)
To find g'(x), let g(x) be equal to y. Then, interchange y and x for each other and make y the subject of formula
Y = 3x + 3
X = 3y + 3
Make y the subject of formula
3y = x - 3
Y = x/3 - 3/3
Y = x/3 - 1
Therefore, g'(x) = x/3 - 1
For g'(12), substitute 12 for x in g' (x)
g'(x) = 12/4 - 1
g'(x) = 3 - 1
g'(x) = 2.
The slope, if you have a graph, is the angle the line is going down so look at this graph:
Whats the largest number that divides evenly into both numbers? 4
The tangent ratio is the ratio of opposite (500 ft) to adjacent (x).
tan(29°) = (500 ft)/x
x = (500 ft)/tan(29°)
x ≈ 902 ft
Answer: x=32
Step-by-step explanation: 3x+18=114
We move all terms to the left:
3x+18-(114)=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
3x-96=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
3x=96
x=96/3
