Answer:

(5, - 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 8x - 10y = 20 → (1)

- 8x - 6y = - 4 → (2)

Multiply (2) by - 1

8x + 6y = 4 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate the x- term, that is

- 4y = 24 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

y = - 6

Substitute y = - 6 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

- 8x - 10(- 6) = 20

- 8x + 60 = 20 ( subtract 60 from both sides )

- 8x = - 40 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

x = 5

solution is (5, - 6 )

Need help with the composition of functions. I have attached a screenshot of the question.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

(f∘f)(x) = x⁴ -12x² +30

(g∘g)(x) = x/9

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (f∘f)(x) = f(f(x)) = f(x² -6)

... = (x² -6)² -6

... = x⁴ -12x² +36 -6

... (f∘f)(x) = x⁴ -12x² +30

b) (g∘g)(x) = g(g(x)) = g(x/3)

... = (x/3)/3

... (g∘g)(x) = x/9
