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

Write the standard equation of the circle with the given center that passes through the given point
Kitty [74]
Circle equation
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
Since radius isn't given use the center and point, with the distance formula, to find the radius.
D=sqrt((x2-x2)^2+)y2-y1)^2)
D=sqrt((1-0)^2+(2-6)^2
D=sqrt(1+16)
D=sqrt 17
radius = sqrt 17
(h, k) is the center and r is the radius
(x - 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 17

Twice the sum of a number and 8 is the same aa the difference of 3 and the number. Find the equation that could be used to find
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

f your number is x, then the difference between that number and 8 would be x-8. Twice that is 2(x-8)

 

Three times the sum of the number and 3 would be 3(x+3). So, you get the equation:

 

2(x-8)=3(x+3)

2x-16=3x+9

x=-25
