Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
The ring operator signifies a composition of functions. The composition is evaluated right-to-left. That means the composition ...
should be interpreted to mean ...
___
To evaluate f(g(6)), we first evaluate g(6):
g(6) = 6² -5 = 31
Then we evaluate the function f using that as its argument:
f(31) = 31 -1 = 30
f(g(x)) = 30
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(6, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint is found as the average of the coordinates of the end points.
M = (A +B)/2
M = ((9, 1) +(3, 7))/2 = (9+3, 1+7)/2 = (12, 8)/2
M = (6, 4)
The midpoint of segment AB is (x, y) = (6, 4).
Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
