Answer:
If a is 1.. we substitute one in every a in g(a)
4 * 1 + 16
4+ 16 = 20
g(a)= 20
f(20)
-16 + 20 = 4
and 4/4 = 1
so f (g (a)) = a

<u>Equation of a circle</u>

where:
- (a, b) is the center
- r is the radius
From inspection of the diagram, the center of the circle <em>appears</em> to be at point (-3, 2), although this is not very clear. Therefore, a = -3 and b = 2.
Substitute these values into the general form of the equation of a circle:


Again, from inspection of the diagram, the <u>maximum vertical point</u> of the circle appears to be at y = 5. Therefore, to calculate the radius, subtract the y-value of the center point from the y-value of the maximum vertical point:
⇒ radius (r) = 5 - 2 = 3
Substitute the found value of r into the equation:

Therefore, the final equation of the given circle is:

-1/2 is bigger than -8/15
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (12-8)/(4 - -2)
(12-8)/(4+2)
4/6
2/3
