The answer is -8
====================================================
Explanation:
There are two ways to get this answer
Method 1 will have us plug x = 0 into h(x) to get
h(x) = x^2 - 4
h(0) = 0^2 - 4
h(0) = 0 - 4
h(0) = -4
Then this output is plugged into g(x) to get
g(x) = 2x
g(-4) = 2*(-4)
g(-4) = -8 which is the answer
This works because (g o h)(0) is the same as g(h(0)). Note how h(0) is replaced with -4
So effectively g(h(0)) = -8 which is the same as (g o h)(0) = -8
-----------------------
The second method involves a bit algebra first
Start with the outer function g(x). Then replace every x with h(x). On the right side, we will replace h(x) with x^2-4 because h(x) = x^2-4
g(x) = 2x
g(x) = 2( x )
g(h(x)) = 2( h(x) ) ... replace every x with h(x)
g(h(x)) = 2( x^2-4 ) ... replace h(x) on the right side with x^2-4
g(h(x)) = 2x^2-8
(g o h)(x) = 2x^2-8
Now plug in x = 0
(g o h)(x) = 2x^2-8
(g o h)(0) = 2(0)^2-8
(g o h)(0) = 2(0)-8
(g o h)(0) = 0-8
(g o h)(0) = -8
Regardless of which method you use, the answer is -8
The x intercept of the line is at x = 10.
The x intercept is always the value of x when all other values are equal to 0. So in this case, we put 0 in for t and then solve.
-2x + 5t = -20
-2x + 5(0) = -20
-2x = -20
x = 10
Answer:
Let w be the width. Then the length is 2w-4. So:
w(2w-4)=96
2w²-4w-96=0
w²-2w-48=0
(w-8)(w+6)=0
w=8 or -6
Throwing out the negative value for w, we get a width of 8 yds, and a length of 12 yds. ☺☺☺☺
60.44 is greater than 60.3
-you can see this when you subtract 60.3 from 60.44 this would leave a 0.11 which is a positive number.
-thus meaning 60.44 is larger/greater.
