suppose the functions u and w are defined as follows u(x)=x+9 w(x)=the square root of x+8 find the following (wou)(8)= (uow)(8)=
2 answers:
Answer:
5 and 13
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate (w ￮ u)(8) , evaluate u(8) then substitute the value obtained into w(x) , that is
u(8) = = 8 + 9 = 17 , then
w(17) = =
= 5
---------------------------------------
To evaluate (u ￮ w )(8) , evaluate w(8) then substitute the value obtained into u(x) , that is
w(8) = =
= 4 , then
u(4) = 4 + 9 = 13

Consider the lengths of consecutive 1-2 blocks.
block 1 - 1, 2 - length 2
block 2 - 1, 2, 2 - length 3
block 3 - 1, 2, 2, 2 - length 4
block 4 - 1, 2, 2, 2, 2 - length 5
and so on.
Recall the formula for the sum of consecutive positive integers,
Now,
which means that the 1234th term in the sequence occurs somewhere about 1/5 of the way through the 49th 1-2 block.
In the first 48 blocks, the sequence contains 48 copies of 1 and 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 47 copies of 2, hence they make up a total of
numbers, and their sum is
This leaves us with the contribution of the first 10 terms in the 49th block, which consist of one 1 and nine 2s with a sum of .
So, the sum of the first 1234 terms in the sequence is 2419.
