Answer:

1.07 (15 + x) = 42.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

CD= $15

Let the cost of the video game be x

The total cost= 15+x

Hence the equivalent expression is

1.07 (15 + x) = 42.80

open bracket

16.05+1.07x= 42.80

42.80-16.05= 1.07x

26.75=1.07x

x= 26.75/1.07

x= 25

Check

7% tax for CD

=0.07*15

=1.05

total =1.05+15

=$16.05

7% tax for Video game

=0.07* 25

=1.75

total =1.75+25

=$26.75

In all

=26.75+16.05

=$42.8

Let g(x)= -3x and h(x) x^2+3 Find (g°h)(0)
raketka [301]
<h3>Answer is   -9</h3>

=================================

Work Shown:

(g°h)(x) is the same as g(h(x))

So, (g°h)(0) = g(h(0))

Effectively h(x) is the input to g(x). Let's first find h(0)

h(x) = x^2+3

h(0) = 0^2+3

h(0) = 3

So g(h(x)) becomes g(h(0)) after we replace x with 0, then it updates to g(3) when we replace h(0) with 3.

Now let's find g(3)

g(x) = -3x

g(3) = -3*3

g(3) = -9

-------

alternatively, you can plug h(x) algebraically into the g(x) function

g(x) = -3x

g( h(x) ) = -3*( h(x) ) ... replace all x terms with h(x)

g( h(x) ) = -3*(x^2 + 3) ... replace h(x) on right side with x^2+3

g( h(x) ) = -3x^2 - 9

Next we can plug in x = 0

g( h(0) )  = -3(0)^2 - 9

g( h(0) ) = -9

we get the same result.
