a trapezoid has an area of 20cm squared and a height of 5 cm. what is the sum of its top and bottom sides
bonufazy [111]
A=\frac{a+b}{2} h
A - area
h - height
a+b - sum of its top and bottom sides

20=\frac{a+b}{2} \cdot 5 \\
4 = \frac{a+b}{2} \\
a+b=8

The sum of its top and bottom sides is 8 cm.

F(x)=3x 2 +9f, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, 3, x, squared, plus, 9 and g(x)=\dfrac{1}{3}x^2-9g(x)= 3 1 ​ x 2
34kurt

Answer:

f(g(x)) = \frac{1}{3}x^4 - 18x^2 + 252

g(f(x)) = 3x^4 + 18x^2 + 18

<em>f(x) and g(x) and not inverse functions</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 3x^2 + 9

g(x) = \dfrac{1}{3}x^2 - 9

Required

Determine f(g(x))

Determine g(f(x))

Determine if both functions are inverse:

Calculating f(g(x))

f(x) = 3x^2 + 9

f(g(x)) = 3(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9)^2 + 9

f(g(x)) = 3(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9)(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9) + 9

Expand Brackets

f(g(x)) = (x^2 - 27)(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9) + 9

f(g(x)) = x^2(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9) - 27(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9) + 9

f(g(x)) = \frac{1}{3}x^4 - 9x^2 - 9x^2 + 243 + 9

f(g(x)) = \frac{1}{3}x^4 - 18x^2 + 252

Calculating g(f(x))

g(x) = \dfrac{1}{3}x^2 - 9

g(f(x)) = \frac{1}{3}(3x^2 + 9)^2 - 9

g(f(x)) = \frac{1}{3}(3x^2 + 9)(3x^2 + 9) - 9

g(f(x)) = (x^2 + 3)(3x^2 + 9) - 9

Expand Brackets

g(f(x)) = x^2(3x^2 + 9) + 3(3x^2 + 9) - 9

g(f(x)) = 3x^4 + 9x^2 + 9x^2 + 27 - 9

g(f(x)) = 3x^4 + 18x^2 + 18

Checking for inverse functions

f(x) = 3x^2 + 9

Represent f(x) with y

y = 3x^2 + 9

Swap positions of x and y

x = 3y^2 + 9

Subtract 9 from both sides

x - 9 = 3y^2 + 9 - 9

x - 9 = 3y^2

3y^2 = x - 9

Divide through by 3

\frac{3y^2}{3} = \frac{x}{3} - \frac{9}{3}

y^2 = \frac{x}{3} - 3

Take square root of both sides

\sqrt{y^2} = \sqrt{\frac{x}{3} - 3}

y = \sqrt{\frac{x}{3} - 3}

Represent y with g(x)

g(x) = \sqrt{\frac{x}{3} - 3}

Note that the resulting value of g(x) is not the same as g(x) = \dfrac{1}{3}x^2 - 9

<em>Hence, f(x) and g(x) and not inverse functions</em>

Solve –x + 2y = 12 x + 6y = 20 using the elimination method. (4, 4) (0, 6) (-12, 0) (-4, 4)
coldgirl [10]
<span>–x + 2y = 12
x + 6y = 20
------------------add
8y = 32
y = 32/8 
y = 4

</span>–x + 2y = 12
–x + 2(4) = 12
-x = 12 -8
x = -4

A times a to the 7 power
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

{a}^{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

a is a¹ and you have a^7 in multiplication you add the exponents. If you were to have a numerical value, you would replace a and calculate. If a = -5 then: a^8 =

( - 5)^{8}

which is = 390 625
