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.

I need help!!!! I don’t understand this!

To find the angles in these problems you have to do one of two things.

1) If we are looking for an interior angle with the exterior angle given, we can find the interior angle by subtracting the exterior angle from 180.

EX: Exterior angle K is 140. Therefore the interior angle is 40 (180 - 140 = 40).

2) If order to find an interior angle when you have other interior angles, add up the other interior angles and subtract them from 180.

EX) Interior angle A is 32 because the other angles are 120 and 28. (180 - 120 - 28 = 32)

ALSO, remember that the square is equal to 90 degrees. I've included an answer list for you below.

A = 32

B = 152

C = 65

D = 25

E = 37

F = 83

G = 97

H = 97

I = 83

J = 57

K = 40

L = 120

M = 60

N = 90

O = 79

P = 12

Find the difference -4 -5​
madam [21]

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about the Keep and change rule, since this is negative, the more negative numbers there are the more it will go deeper. -4 - 5 is -9 because just create a number line and place -4 one it, then jump backwards 5 times.
