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

2/3-1/4 I want the answer please

You want to make the fractions have the same denominator.
2/3 = 8/12
1/4 = 3/12
now subtract the numerator and keep the denominator the same...
8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12
5 1/2 is the answer

Expand. Your answer should be a polynomial in standard form. (x2+4)(x2−6)=(x^2+4)(x^2-6)=(x2+4)(x2−6)=
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

x^4 -2x^2 -24

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^2+4)(x^2−6)

FOIL

First: x^2*x^2 = x^4

Outer: x^2 *-6 = -6x^2

Inner: x^2 *4 = 4x^2

Last: 4*-6 = -24

Add them together

x^4 -6x^2 +4x^2 -24

Combine like terms

x^4 -2x^2 -24

This is in standard form since the powers decrease
