Answer:

x = -1.4, -7/5, or -1 2/5 (all same answer, just in different forms)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 1 to both sides.

  • 5x-1+1=-8+1
  • 5x=-7

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

  • 5x/5=-7/5
  • x = -1.4, -7/5, or -1 2/5.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡

Let f(x)=2x+3 and g(x)=x×x-1<br>find a. f(g(x)) b.g(f(x))<br><br>​
Talja [164]

Answer:

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions f(x)=2x+3 and g(x)=x^2-1

a. Find f(g(x))

f(g(x)) = f(x^2-1)

f(g(x)) = 2(x^2-1)+3

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

f(g(x)) = 2x^2+1

Hence the composite function f(g(x)) is 2x^2+1

b) g(f(x)) = g(2x+3)

g(f(x) = (2x+3)^2-1

g(f(x)) = 4x^2+12x+9-1

g(f(x)) = 4x^2+12x+8

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Hi Lawrence!

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

We Know:

Powersports Plus: $30 an hour plus a non-refundable deposit of $50.

Sun & Surf: $20 an hour plus a non-refundable deposit of $80.

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

Equation:

x = per hour

y = total

Powersports: 30x + 50 = y

Sun and Surf: 20x + 80 = y

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

Solution: (Add the deposit then start adding hourly costs)

Powersports: 80, 110, 140

Sun and Surf: 100, 120, 140

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

Answer: After <u>3 hours</u> both companies will cost the same amount of money.

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