Answer:

f•g(-2) = -160

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-2) = (-2)^2 -6(-2) = 4 + 12 = 16

g(-2) = -2 -8 = -10

f•g(-2) = f(-2)•g(-2) = 16•(-10)

f•g(-2) = -160

1. $m\angle BAC=m\angle CAD,\ m\angle ACB=m\angle ADC=90^{\circ}$ , then $m\angle ABC=m\angle ACD$ and triangles ADC and ACB are similar by AAA theorem.

2. The ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is constant, so

$\dfrac{AC}{AB}= \dfrac{AD}{AC}$ .

3. Knowing lengths you could state that $\dfrac{b}{c}= \dfrac{e}{b}$ .

4. This ratio is equivalent to $b^2=ce$ .

5. $m\angle ABC=m\angle CBD,\ m\angle ACB=m\angle CDB=90^{\circ}$ , then $m\angle BAC=m\angle BCD$ and triangles BDC and BCA are similar by AAA theorem.

6. The ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is constant, so

$\dfrac{BC}{BD}= \dfrac{AB}{BC}$ .

7. Knowing lengths you could state that $\dfrac{a}{d}= \dfrac{c}{a}$ .

8. This ratio is equivalent to $a^2=cd$ .

9. Now add results of parts 4 and 8:

$b^2+a^2=ce+cd$ .

10. c is common factor, then:

$b^2+a^2=c(e+d)$ .

11. Since $e+d=c$ you have $a^2+b^2=c\cdot c=c^2$ .

Of video game that originally cost $25.99 is on sale for 50% off if you have $14 would you have enough money to buy the video ga

NeX [460]

Just round 25.99 to 26 and divide it by two. This gives you 13, which is less than 14.. You would be able to buy the video game.

Which is bigger .72 or .725?

aleksley [76]

.72
.725 would be less because it has more behind the decimal.
.72 would be more because there are only 2 numbers behind the decimal

A painter charges an initial fee of $50 and $30 for each hour of labor. Write a linear function to determine the total cost. How

il63 [147K]

The initial fee of $50 is essentially the y intercept because this is the value when x = 0 (x is the number of labor-hours). So b = 50.

The slope is m = 30 because each increase of 1 hour leads to the cost bumping up by 30 dollars. In other words, slope = rise/run = (change in cost)/(change in hours) = 30/1

So we plug m = 30 and b = 50 into the y = mx+b formula to get y = 30x+50

Replace y with f(x) to get f(x) = 30x+50

The linear function for the cost is f(x) = 30x+50

Note: Some books may use other letters (instead of x and f(x)), but the idea is still the same

Once you know the cost function, you replace x with 4.5 to find the amount it will cost to have a painter work for 4.5 hours.

f(x) = 30x+50
f(4.5) = 30*4.5+50
f(4.5) = 135+50
f(4.5) = 185

It will cost 185 dollars to have the painter work for 4.5 hours
