Answer:

B. f(g(x)) = -10x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

When evaluating f(g(x)), substitute what g(x) is in place of g(x).

So instead of

f(g(x))

the function would be:

f(-5x + 6).

Now all you have to do is evaluate this.

To evaluate this function, substitute the value inside the f(x) for all instances of x in the equation.

f(x) = 2x - 4

f(-5x + 6) = 2(-5x + 6) - 4

f(-5x + 6) = -10x + 12 - 4

f(-5x + 6) = -10x + 8

Therefore, f(g(x)) = -10x + 8.

Round off 174 to the nearest hundred

shepuryov [24]

Answer: 200

Step-by-step explanation:

174 rounded to the nearest hundred is:

200

When rounding to the nearest hundred, like we did with 174 above, we use the following rules:

A) We round the number up to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in the number are 50 or above.

B) We round the number down to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in the number are 49 or below.

C) If the last two digits are 00, then we do not have to do any rounding, because it is already to the hundred.

An octagonal swimming pool has a base area of 22 square feet The pool is 3 feet deep How many cubic feet of water can the pool h

LenKa [72]

The pool can hold 65.84 ft³ of water

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Shape of pool = octagonal

Base area of the pool = 22 ft²

Depth of the pool = 3 feet

Volume, V = ?

We know:

Area of octagon = 2 ( 1 + √2) a²

22 ft² = 2 ( 1 + √2 ) a²

$\frac{11}{1+\sqrt{2} } = a^2$

a² = $\frac{11}{2.42}$

a² = 4.55

a = 2.132 ft

Side length of the octagon is 2.132 ft

We know:

Volume of octagon = $2(1+\sqrt{2} ) X (a)^2 X h$

$V = 2(1+\sqrt{2})X (2.132)^2 X 3\\ \\V = 2 ( 2.414) X 4.5454 X 3\\\\V = 65.84 ft^3$

Therefore, the pool can hold 65.84 ft³ of water

The midpoint of EF is M(4,10). One endpoint is E(2,6). Find the coordinates of the other endpoint F.

Licemer1 [7]

You will need to set equations to solve for x and y coordinate.
(2+x)/2=4
2+x=8
x=6

(6+y)/2=10
6+y=20
y=14

The answer is A. (6,14)

You go shopping at a local department store with your friend and cousin. You buy one pair of jeans, four pairs of shorts, and tw

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: Cost per pair of jeans = $ 20

Cost per pair of shorts = $12

Cost per shirt = $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= cost per pair of jeans

y = Cost per pair of shorts

z= cost per shirt.

For you, total cost = x+4y+2z= 84

For your friend, total cost = 2x+y+3z=76

For cousin, total cost = x+2y+z= 52

Required system:

$x+4y+2z=84\ (i)\\ 2x+y+3z=76\ (ii)\\ x+2y+z=52\ (iii)$

from (i), $x=84-4y-2z$ (*)

put this in (ii) and (iii) we get

$2\left(84-4y-2z\right)+y+3z=76\\\Rightarrow\ -7y-z+168=76\ (iv)\\\\ 84-4y-2z+2y+z=52\\\Rightarrow\ -2y-z+84=52 \ (v)$

from (iv), $y=-\frac{z-92}{7}\ (vi)$

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}y=-\frac{z-92}{7}\ \text{in}\ (v)$

$-2\left(-\frac{z-92}{7}\right)-z+84=52\\\\\Rightarrow\ -2\left(-\frac{z-92}{7}\right)-z=-32\\\\\Rightarrow\ -\frac{5z}{7}-\frac{184}{7}=-32\\\\\Rightarrow\ -5z-184=-224\\\\\Rightarrow\ -5z=-40\\\\\Rightarrow\ z=8$

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}z=8\text{ in (vi)}$

$y=-\frac{8-92}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow \ y=12$

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}z=8,\:y=12\text{ in (*)}$

$x=84-4\cdot \:12-2\cdot \:8\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 20$

Hence, x= 20, y= 12 , z=8

So, Cost per pair of jeans = $ 20

Cost per pair of shorts = $12

Cost per shirt = $8
