Find the value of w (u(2))

Mathematics

<h3>Answer:  17</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

We'll start things off by computing the inner function u(2)

Plug x = 2 into the u(x) function

u(x) = -x-1

u(2) = -2-1

u(2) = -3

This tells us that w(u(2)) is the same as w(-3). I replaced u(2) with -3.

We'll plug x = -3 into the w(x) function

w(x) = 2x^2-1

w(-3) = 2(-3)^2 - 1

w(-3) = 2(9) - 1

w(-3) = 18-1

w(-3) = 17

Therefore, w(u(2)) = 17

------------------------

Here's a slightly different approach:

Let's find what w(u(x)) is in general

w(x) = 2x^2 - 1

w(u(x)) = 2(u(x))^2 - 1

w(u(x)) = 2(-x-1)^2 - 1

Then we can plug in x = 2

w(u(x)) = 2(-x-1)^2 - 1

w(u(2)) = 2(-2-1)^2 - 1

w(u(2)) = 2(-3)^2 - 1

w(u(2)) = 2(9) - 1

w(u(2)) = 18 - 1

w(u(2)) = 17

If 2 angles have the same angle measure they are said to be what
DanielleElmas [232]

2 angles that have the same angle measure are congruent.

Given that the two angles have the same angle measure.

Congruence is a term reserved for geometry. Two metrics are congruent when you can perfectly map to each other by mirroring, rotating, and translating without distortion.

We know that two shapes or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and the same size. For two angles to be congruent, they must coincide when they are overlapped. This is only possible if the two angles are equal.

Therefore, if two angles have the same measure, then they are said to be congruent.

LMNO~QRST find the value of x.
adelina 88 [10]
Since both trapezoids are similar, so LMNO is a scaled version of QRST by some magnitude
so we can easily use the concept of ratios to find x
in other words: x÷2=6÷5
so x=6×2÷5=12/5=2.4
x=2.4

Two urns contain white balls and yellow balls. The first urn contains 2 white balls and 7 yellow balls and the second urn contai
Romashka [77]

-- The first urn has 9 balls in it all together, and 2 of them are white.
If you don't peek, then the prob of pulling out a white ball is  2/9 .

-- The second urn has 13 balls in it all together, and 3 of them are white.
If you don't peek, then the prob of pulling out a white ball is  3/13 .

-- The probability of being successful BOTH times is

        (2/9) x (3/13)  =  ( 6/117 )  =  about  0.0513  or  5.13% (rounded)

Which of these properties is enough to prove that a given parallelogram is also a Rectangle?
lozanna [386]

we are supposed to find

Which of these properties is enough to prove that a given parallelogram is also a Rectangle?

As we know from the theorem, if the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent then the parallelogram is a rectangle.

The other options The diagonals bisect each other is not sufficient because in parallelogram diagonals always gets bisected , parallelogram becomes rectangles only if both the diagonals are of same length.

In a parallelogram The opposite angles and opposite sides are always equal.

Hence the correct option is

The diagonals are congruent.
