Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

The number is more by three than a multiple of of 5 (i.e 5x +3) and more than 2 than a multiple of 4 (ie 4y+2(

Now 5x+3=4y+2

ie 5x +1 =4y

we need to give the lowest pair of values to x and y such that the last equality is satisfied.

By trial, x = 3 and y = 4

thus the number is 5x+3 =5(3)+3 =18=4y+2 =4(4)+2=18

I hope it has helped you.

Calculus question....does anyone know how to solve this?

iogann1982 [59]

$h(x)=(f\circ g)(x)$
$\sqrt{x+5}=\sqrt{g(x)+2}$
$x+5=g(x)+2$
$g(x)=x+3$

Just to check this is correct:

$(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))=f(x+3)=\sqrt{(x+3)+2}=\sqrt{x+5}=h(x)$
