Answer:

  28%

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the fractional increase in the number of mathletes, and if problem-solving speed is jointly proportional to their speed and their number, we want ...

  (1 +25%)(1 +x) = (1 +60%)

  1 +x = 1.60/1.25 = 1.28

  x = 0.28 = 28%

The team size must increase by 28% to solve all of the problems on time.

Let f(x) = x^2 + 6 and g(x) = x+8/x . Find ( g o f)(­ -7)
faust18 [17]
One way to approach this is to find (g o f)(x) first and then to replace x by -7:

g( f(x) ) = (x^2+6) + 8/(x^2+6)

Now replace x with -7.  We get:    ( g o f )(-7) = 49+6+8 / (49+6), or
                                                                        = 55 + 8 / 55, or 55 8/55 (ans.)
