Let f(x)=x-2 and g(x)=x2-7x-9 fins f(g(-1))

vlabodo [156]

The answer is -3 because you’re plugging g(x) into f(x). For every x there is in f(x), plug in g(x)’s equation. After you get another equation (simplified), which is x^2 -7x -11, plug -1 for every x and condense.

Find the length of the third side if necessary round to the nearest tenth

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the missing side as x

Base on the pythagorean theorem, we have :
17² - 15² = x²

289 - 225 = x²

x² = 64

So, x equals 8.

Hope it helps

HELP PLSS<br><br> What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2, -5) and (6, 7)?

Serjik [45]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

$slope = \frac{7 - ( - 5)}{6 - ( - 2)} \\$

$slope = \frac{7 + 5}{6 + 2} \\$

$slope = \frac{12}{8} \\$

$slope = \frac{4 \times 3}{4 \times 2} \\$

$slope = \frac{3}{2} \\$
