Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equations f(x) = 2x - 3 and g(x) = 6 + 8/x.
We want to find f(g(4))
Essentially, what we are doing, is plugging in 4 into x for g(x) and the outcome of that is what we plug into x for f(x)
So first lets plug in 4 into x for g(x)
g(x) = 6 + 8/x.
We want to find g(4)
g(4) = 6 + 8/4
First divide 8 by 4
g(4) = 6 + 2
Then add 6 and 2
g(4) = 8
Now that we have found g(4) we want to plug the value of g(4), so 8 into f(x)
f(x) = 2x - 3
we want to find f(8)
f(8) = 2(8) - 3
* multiply 2 and 8 *
f(8) = 16 - 3
* subtract 3 from 16 *
f(8) = 13
and we are done!
So we can conclude that f(g(4)) = 13
2/5
Since 12 out of 30 marbles were black, you can assume that the percentage of black marbles in the bag is 40% (Ex: 12/30=.4) The probability that the marble you pick is black is equal to the percentage of black marbles in the bag. 40% is equal to 2/5.
2)
(-3, 3) (2,0)
slope = (3-0)/(-3-2) = -3/5
3)
y = 3
so slope = 0
Answer:
(x - 3)(x + 1)(x + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
I'd use synthetic division instead. If we were to find the roots of the given polynomial, we could from them write the factors as well.
The divisor x + 5 corresponds to root x = -5. Setting up synthetic div.,
-5 ) 1 3 -13 -15
-5 10 +15
-----------------------------
1 -2 -3 0
Since the remainder is 0, we know that -5 is a root and (x + 5) is a factor. Moreover, we know that the coefficients of the quotient are 1, -2 and -3.
1x² - 2x - 3 can be factored: the factors are (x - 3) and (x + 1).
So the end result for this problem is (x - 3)(x + 1)(x + 5).
