(f o g)(-3) = (f(g(-3))
Because g is on the inside, we carry out g first.
g(x) = x^2 - 3
Substitute -3 in for x.
g(-3) = (-3)^2 - 3 = 9 - 3 = 6
g(-3) = 6
Next, carry out f on the result of g(-3)
f(6) = 2(6) - 1
= 12 - 1
= 11
So the answer is 11.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Sea level is 0
robert dives 40 ft.....-40
he then rises 23 ft.....-40 + 23 = -17
he then dives 19 ft to meet Sam....-17 - 19 = -36
together they rise 31 ft...-36 + 31 = - 5
they are 5 ft below sea level <==
OK. These problems are easy if you know the quadratic formula,
and they're impossible if you don't.
Here's the quadratic formula:
When the equation is in the form of Ax² + Bx + C = 0
then x = [ -B plus or minus √(B²-4AC) ] / 2A
I'm sure that formula is in your text or your study notes,
right before these questions. You should cut it out or
copy it, and tape it inside the cover of your notebook.
Then, you'll always have it when you need it, until
you have it memorized and can rattle it off.
The first question says 3x² + 5x + 2 = 0
Is this in the form of Ax² + Bx + C = 0 ?
Yes ! A=3 B=5 C=2
so you can use the quadratic formula to solve it.
x = [ -B plus or minus √(B²-4AC) ] / 2A
= [ -5 plus or minus √(5² - 4·3·2) ] / 2·3
= [ -5 plus or minus √(25 - 24) ] / 6
= [ -5 plus or minus √1 ] / 6
x = -4 / 6 = -2/3
and
x = -6 / 6 = -1 .

The second question says
4x² + 5x - 1 = 0
Is this in the form of Ax² + Bx + C = 0 ?
Yes it is ! A=4 B=5 C= -1
so you can use the quadratic formula to solve it.
x = [ -B plus or minus √(B²-4AC) ] / 2A
Now, you take it from here.
Answer:
He needs $15 more
Step-by-step explanation:
since each ticket costs $10 dollars, and there is 6 tickets, we need to multiply 10 x 6 to get the total cost of all tickets
10 x 6 = $60
To find how much more money he needs to buy all tickets, we need to subtract $45 from the total cost of tickets, which is $60
$60 - $45 = $15
Hope you understand this explanation!
