<u>Answer:</u>
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
------------(1) (given)
-------------(2) (given)
so,
f(x) = h(g(x)) (given)
= 
-----(from (1) and (2))
⇒
-----(taking g(x) = k)
⇒ is the function.
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
I had the same question
x = -4, so use the first equation, x^2 = -4^2 = -16
x = 4, use 3rd equation, sqrt(x) = sqrt(4) = 2
as you already know, the area of a rectangle is just length*width, so is just the product of those two.
The critical points are at x = 1 and x = 4 giving you the intervals (-inf, 1), (1, 4) and (4, inf).
By substituting x values in these 3 intervals, you can see that f'(x) is positive in the first and third intervals and negative in the second interval.
This means that f(x) is increasing in the first and third intervals and decreasing in the second interval.
The answer is D.
