To me personally, the first bit f(g(x)) is easy and the domain is tricky. Let's try explain this.
A function takes an input number and returns an output number depending on the function. Look at f(x) = x+3, if we let the input number be 2 then we say that f(2) = 5. We could do f(π) to give us π+3 or even f(x²) to give us x² +3. The trick is to substitute the input into the function equation.
You have been asked to find f(g(x)). You know f(x) =
. Putting numbers in at this point would be easy (try work out f(2), you'll do it really quick) but you have to put in g(x).
f(g(x)) =
we also know that g(x) =
so we can say that
f(g(x)) =
and that is f(g(x)) but the question requires that we simplify it so
f(g(x)) =
Now for the tricky bit (for me, at least). The domain is the full set of values that you can 'put in to' the function and still get a real value out. So how do we work out what numbers 'break' the function? I like to use the fact that DIVIDING BY ZERO IS IMPOSSIBLE. What value of x can we put into the function to make it so the function is being divided by 0? i.e. 1-2x = 0 solve that and you have a value of x that isn't part of the domain.
This means the domain is all real numbers EXCEPT the solution to that equation. (Because if we put that value into f(g(x)) it's impossible to get a value out.)

Answer:
-88 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the relation ...
time = distance/speed
to compare the times in the two directions.
The wind speed is -88 miles per hour.
_____
The problem statement tells us the travel is slower <em>with</em> the wind than <em>against</em> the wind. Hence "with the wind" must be subtracting from the net speed. That is, the wind speed is negative.
Let
x = the number of shorts bought
y = the number of t-shirts bought
A pair of shorts costs $16 and a t-shirt costs $10. Brandom has $100 to spend.
Therefore
16x + 10y ≤ 100
This may be written as
y ≤ - 1.6x + 10 (1)
Brandon wants at least 2 pairs of shorts. Therefore
x ≥ 2 (2)
Graph the equations y = -1.6x + 10 and x = 2.
The shaded region satisfies both inequalities.
Answer:
Two possible solutions are
(a) 3 pairs of shorts and 4 t-shirts,
(b) 4 pairs of shorts and 2 t-shirts.
