Hello!
This question is an example of composition of functions. It is using range values of some given function as domain values of some other given function to find new range values. Remember that the domain of the composite function will be the same as the domain of the first function.
Given f(g(x)), for f = , substitute x with g(x) =
.
Therefore, .

Explanation:
Use a graphing tool like GeoGebra, Desmos, or your graphing calculator to plot each expression given as a separate y equation. Four parabolas should result.
The x intercept is the same as the root or zero of a function.
You should find that only choice B has a root thats larger than 4. That specific root being x = 7.
----------------------------
A non-graphing approach:
You can use the quadratic formula or the factoring method to find the roots.
For choice A, it factors to (x+5)(x+6) = 0. The roots are x = -5 and x = -6 which aren't greater than 4. So we cross choice A off the list. Choices C and D are similar stories.
On the other hand, choice B factors to (x-7)(x+2) = 0 and it has roots of x = 7 and x = -2. This is another way to see why choice B is the answer.
Here are the steps for the quadratic formula for choice B
The quadratic formula is handy in case factoring is either not possible, or guess-and-check is too lengthy of a process. As you can probably tell, we could use the quadratic formula's results to help construct the factored form.
Answer:
Her friend gave Sheila a markdown of $15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Amount paid for 2 tickets = $90
Actual amount for each ticket = $52.50
we need to find the markdown value did her friend gave to Shelia.
Solution:
each ticket = $52.50
2 tickets = Cost of 2 tickets.
By using unitary method we get;
Cost of 2 tickets =
Now To find the markdown we will subtract the Amount paid for 2 tickets from the actual Amount of 2 tickets.
framing in equation form we get;
Markdown
Hence her friend gave sheila a markdown of $15.
