Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, if two functions, <em>f</em> and <em>g</em>, are inverses, then:

\displaystyle f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x

We are given the two functions:

\displaystyle g(x) = \sqrt{x + 8} -4 \text{ and } f(x) = x^2 + 8x + 8

Find f(g(x)) and g(f(x)):

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} f(g(x)) &= (\sqrt{x + 8} -4)^2 + 8(\sqrt{ x+ 8}-4) + 8 \\ \\ &= ((x+8) -8\sqrt{x + 8} +16) + 8\sqrt{x + 8} - 32 + 8 \\ \\ &= x + (-8\sqrt{x+8} + 8\sqrt{x + 8}) +(16 - 32 + 8 + 8) \\ \\ &= x \stackrel{\checkmark}{=} x\end{aligned}

And:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}g(f(x)) &= \sqrt{(x^2 + 8x + 8) + 8} - 4 \\ \\ &= \sqrt{x^2 + 8x+16 } - 4 \\ \\ &=\sqrt{(x+ 4)^2} - 4 \\ \\ &= (x  +4) - 4 \\ \\ &= x \stackrel{\checkmark}{=} x  \end{aligned}

Hence, <em>f</em> and <em>g</em> are indeed inverses of each other.

KonstantinChe [14]
(x cookies) / (23 students - (12/2) students) = 2 cookies per student
[x / (23 - 6)] cookies per student = 2 cookies per student
23 students * (2 cookies per students) - 12 cookies = x cookies
The "students" unit cancels
46 cookies - 12 cookies = x cookies

Find x, y, and z.<br><br> Multiple choice answers are below!
labwork [276]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. x ≈ 4.5, y = 5, z = 9</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We will use the Pythagorean theorem for solving for x, this way:

x² = 6² - 4²

x² = 36 - 16

x² = 20

x = √20

x = 2 √5 = 4.47 ≈ 4.5

2. For solving for y, we will do it this way:

There are only two possible options: y = 5, included in answer B or y = 9 as it is defined on answer C.

If we review it carefully, we will realize that y = 9 is not accurate because as we can see in the graph y + 4 = z and in this specific case, 9 + 4 ≠ 5 but it's true that 5 + 4 = 9.

<u>Because of this reason, the correct answer is B. x ≈ 4.5, y = 5, z = 9</u>

The patient recovery time from a particular surgical procedure is normally distributed with a mean of 5.3 days and a standard de
inna [77]

Answer:

<em>The probability of spending between 4 and 7 days in recovery</em>

<em>P(4≤x≤7) = 0.5445</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given mean of the Population μ = 5.3 days

Given standard deviation of the population 'σ' = 2 days

Let 'X' be the random variable in normal distribution

Let    x₁ = 4

Z_{1} = \frac{x_{1}-mean }{S.D} = \frac{4-5.3}{2} = -0.65

Let    x₂ = 7

Z_{2} = \frac{x_{2}-mean }{S.D} = \frac{7-5.3}{2} = 0.85

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

<u><em>The probability of spending between 4 and 7 days in recovery</em></u>

<em>P(4≤x≤7) = P(-0.65≤Z≤0.85)</em>

<em>              =  P(Z≤0.85) - P(Z≤-0.65)</em>

<em>             = 0.5 + A( 0.85) - ( 0.5 - A(-0.65) </em>

<em>             = 0.5 + A( 0.85) -  0.5 +A(0.65)   ( ∵A(-0.65) = A(0.65)</em>

<em>            =   A(0.85) + A(0.65)</em>

<em>           = 0.3023 + 0.2422</em>

<em>          = 0.5445</em>

<u><em>Final answer:</em></u><em>-</em>

<em>The probability of spending between 4 and 7 days in recovery</em>

<em>P(4≤x≤7) = 0.5445</em>

Write as a single term: cos(2x) cos(x) + sin(2x) sin(x)
GREYUIT [131]

Answer: cos(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have  

sin ( x + y ) = sin(x)*cos(y) + cos(x)*sin(y)   (1)   and

cos ( x + y ) = cos(x)*cos(y) - sin(x)*sin(y)  (2)

From eq. (1)

if x = y

sin ( x + x ) = sin(x)*cos(x) + cos(x)*sin(x) ⇒ sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x)

From eq. 2

If x = y

cos ( x + x ) = cos(x)*cos(x) - sin(x)*sin(x)  ⇒ cos²(x) - sin²(x)

cos (2x) = cos²(x) - sin²(x)

Hence:The expression:

cos(2x) cos(x) + sin(2x) sin(x)  (3)

Subtition of sin(2x) and cos(2x)  in eq. 3

[cos²(x)-sin²(x)]*cos(x) + [(2sen(x)cos(x)]*sin(x)

and operating

cos³(x) - sin²(x)cos(x) + 2sin²(x)cos(x) = cos³(x) + sin²(x)cos(x)

cos (x) [ cos²(x) + sin²(x) ]  = cos(x)

since cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1
