Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a composite function, f(g(x)). This means, working from the inside function to the outside, we will take the function g and plug it in for x in the f function. g(x) = 2x + 4. We will plug that into f(x) and evaluate f(2x+4):

$f(g(x))=(2x+4)^2+2(2x+4)-5$ and I imagine your teacher has you simplify completely. We FOIL and distribute to get

$f(g(x))=4x^2+16x+16+4x+8-5$ which, by combining like terms, give us

$f(g(x))=4x^2+20x+19$

The largest county in the state of Texas is 6064 square miles larger than the smallest county in the same state. The size of the

Ann [662]

The smallest county is 129 square miles large.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Smallest county = x

Largest county = y

According to given statement;

The largest county in the state of Texas is 6064 square miles larger than the smallest county in the same state.

y = x+6064 Eqn 1

The size of the largest county is 48 times the size of the smallest county plus one square mile.

y = 48x+1 Eqn 2

As Eqn 1 and Eqn 2 are both equal to y, therefore,

Eqn 1 = Eqn 2

$x+6064=48x+1\\6064-1=48x-x\\6063=47x\\47x=6063$

Dividing both sides by 47

$\frac{47x}{47}=\frac{6063}{47}\\x=129\ square \ miles$

The smallest county is 129 square miles large.

RS = 4x – 9, ST = 19, RT = 80 – 14<br><br> Equation:<br><br> 82 – 14<br><br> RS<br><br> RT

algol13

Step-by-step explanation:

The expressions are not properly written

Given

RS = 4x – 9

ST = 19

RT = 8x – 14

Based on the given parameters, the addition postulate below is true

RS+ST = RT

Substitute

4x-9+19 = 8x-14

collect like terms

4x-8x = -14-19+9

-4x = -33+9

-4x = -24

x = -24/-4

x = 6

Get RS:

RS = 4x-9

RS = 4(6)- 9

RS = 24-9

RS = 15

Get RT:

RT = 8x - 14

RT = 8(6)-14

RT = 48-14

RT = 34

X²+Y²=250 and XY=117<br> What are the values of X and Y?

yan [13]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+y^2=250\\\\x^2-2xy+y^2+2xy=250\\\\(x-y)^2=250-2xy\\\\(x-y)^2=250-2\cdot117\\\\ (x-y)^2=16\\\\x-y=4\qquad\qquad\vee\qquad \qquad x-y=-4\\\\x=4+y \qquad\qquad \vee\qquad\qquad x=-4+y\\\\(y+4)y=117\qquad\vee\qquad\quad (y-4)y=117\\\\y^2+4y-117=0\qquad\vee\qquad y^2-4y-117=0\\\\y=\dfrac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4(-117)}}{2\cdot1}\qquad\vee\qquad y=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4(-117)}}{2\cdot1}\\\\y=\dfrac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+468}}{2}\qquad\ \ \vee\qquad y=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{16+468}}{2}$

$y_1=\dfrac{-4-22}{2}\ ,\quad y_2=\dfrac{-4+22}{2}\ ,\quad y_3=\dfrac{4-22}{2}\ ,\quad y_4=\dfrac{4+22}{2}\\\\y_1=-13\ ,\qquad y_2=9\ ,\qquad\quad\qquad\ y_3=-9\ ,\qquad y_4=13\\\\x_{1,2}=4+y_{1,2}\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad x_{3,4}=-4+y_{3,4}\\\\x_1=-9\ ,\qquad x_2=13\ ,\qquad\quad\qquad x_3=-13\ ,\qquad x_4=9$
