Answer:
1. 20
2. 23
3. 6
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that:
f(x) = 2x
g(x) = x² + 1
f(g(x)) is the composite function of f and g. So
f(g(x)) = f(x²-1) = 2(x²+1) = 2x² + 2
1. f(g(3))
f(g(x)) = 2x² - 2 = 2(3)² + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20
2. f(3)+g(4)
f(3) = 2(3) = 6
g(4) = 4² + 1 = 17
f(3) + g(4) = 6 + 17 = 23
3. f(5) - 2g(1)
f(5) = 2(5) = 10
g(1) = (1)² + 1 = 2
f(5) - 2g(1) = 10 - 2*2 = 10 - 4 = 6
Melanie walked 2.2 miles. Cathy walked 1.75 times as far. This means that you need to do 2.2 * 1.75 which equals 3.85. To find how much further, do 3.85 - 2.2 which equals 1.65. Therefore Cathy walked 1.65 more miles than Melanie.
