Answer:

f ○ g(x) = x and g ○ f(x) = x is the correct composition

Step-by-step explanation:

INVERSE FUNCTIONS: Two functions are said to be inverse of each other if for every y = f(x), there exists a function g(x),

such that x = $f^{-1} (y)$ = g(y)

Now, here if we need to show tha two functions f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions of each other , then show that for every x:

1. f o g(x) = f(g(x))= x

2. g o f(x) = g(f(x)) = x

If any two functions satisfy these two conditions, then they are inverse of each other.

What is the y-intercept -8 in standard form

FinnZ [79.3K]

If the equation of a line is in standard form, the easiest method to graph the line is by finding intercepts. Remember that at the y-intercept, the x coordinate is equal to 0, and that at the x-intercept, the y coordinate is equal to 0. To find the y-intercept, set x equal to 0 and solve for y.

I hope this helped!

$\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}$

Factorise the polynomials.

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

$\sf \: b ^ { 2 } + 8 b + 7$

Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as b²+pb+qb+7. To find p and q, set up a system to be solved.

$\sf \: p+q=8 \\ \sf pq=1\times 7=7$

As pq is positive, p and q have the same sign. As p+q is positive, p and q are both positive. The only such pair is the system solution.

$\sf \: p=1 \\ \sf \: q=7$

Rewrite $\sf\:b^{2}+8b+7 \: as \: \left(b^{2}+b\right)+\left(7b+7\right)$ .

$\sf \: \left(b^{2}+b\right)+\left(7b+7\right)$

Take out the common factors.

$\sf \: b\left(b+1\right)+7\left(b+1\right)$

Factor out common term b+1 by using distributive property.

$\boxed{\boxed{ \bf \: \left(b+1\right)\left(b+7\right) }}$

$\sf \: 4 x ^ { 2 } + 4 x + 1$

Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 4x²+ax+bx+1. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.

$\sf \: a+b=4 \\ \sf ab=4\times 1=4$

As ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. As a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 4.

$\sf \: 1,4 \\ \sf 2,2$

Calculate the sum for each pair.

$\sf \: 1+4=5 \\ \sf \: 2+2=4$

The solution is the pair that gives sum 4.

$\sf \: a=2 \\ \sf b=2$

Rewrite $\sf4x^{2}+4x+1 as \left(4x^{2}+2x\right)+\left(2x+1\right)$ .

$\sf \: \left(4x^{2}+2x\right)+\left(2x+1\right)$

Factor out 2x in 4x² + 2x.

$\sf \: 2x\left(2x+1\right)+2x+1$

Factor out common term 2x+1 by using distributive property.

$\sf\left(2x+1\right)\left(2x+1\right)$

Rewrite as a binomial square.

$\boxed{ \boxed{\bf\left(2x+1\right)^{2}} }$

__________________

$\sf \: 5 n ^ { 2 } + 10 n + 20$

Factor out 5. Polynomial n² + 2n+4 is not factored as it does not have any rational roots.

$\boxed{\boxed{\bf5\left(n^{2}+2n+4\right)} }$

<u>___________</u>_______

$\sf \: m ^ { 3 } - 729$

Rewrite m³-729 as m³ - 9³. The difference of cubes can be factored using the rule: $a^{3}-b^{3}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a^{2}+ab+b^{2}\right)$ . Polynomial m²+9m+81 is not factored as it does not have any rational roots.

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf \: \left(m-9\right)\left(m^{2}+9m+81\right) }}$

__________________

$\sf \: x ^ { 2 } - 81$

Rewrite x²-81 as x² - 9². The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: $a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)$ .

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(x-9\right)\left(x+9\right) }}$

$\sf \: 15 x ^ { 2 } - 17 x - 4$

Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 15x²+ax+bx-4. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.

$\sf \: a+b=-17 \\ \sf \: ab=15\left(-4\right)=-60$

As ab is negative, a and b have the opposite signs. As a+b is negative, the negative number has greater absolute value than the positive. List all such integer pairs that give product -60.

$\sf \: 1,-60 \\ \sf 2,-30 \\ \sf3,-20 \\ \sf4,-15 \\ \sf5,-12 \\ \sf 6,-10$
