Answer 1

[tex]f(g(h(x)))=f(g(\sqrt x))=f(\sqrt x-1)=\boxed{(\sqrt x-1)^4+4}[/tex]

This is because

[tex]h(x)=\sqrt x[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=x-1[/tex]

[tex]\implies g(h(x))=\sqrt x-1[/tex]

(that is, replace any instance of x in the definition of g with √x )

and

[tex]f(x)=x^4+4[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(\sqrt x-1)=(\sqrt x-1)^4+4[/tex]

(replace any x in f with √x - 1)

Also acceptable:

[tex](\sqrt x-1)^4+4=((\sqrt x)^4-4(\sqrt x)^3+6(\sqrt x)^2-4\sqrt x+1)+4[/tex]

[tex]=\boxed{x^2-4x\sqrt x+6x-4\sqrt x+5}[/tex]

What is the main difference between simplifying and solving? Which one gives you a value for a variable? How do you know the difference?

Answers

Answer:

when you simplify you continue until you get to the simplest form but when you solve you continue until you get an answer. Solving gives you a value for a variable. You mean simplify and get 2x - 10 but when you solve you continue until you get x as 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: ok, so simplifying is when you make something less complex or complicated. Solving means an expression can be used for representating  the solutions. for Example, say if you have the equation x+y=2x-1 is solved for the unknown x by the expression x=y+1. solving gives you the value for the variable. you know the difference by when you are simplifying you are trying to make the problem less complicated or less complex. and when you are solving you are trying to find the answer to the problem..

Step-by-step explanation:

two years ago a woman was 7 times old as her daughter, but in 3 years time she would be 4 times old as the girl. how old are they now

Two years ago a woman wad 7 times as old as her daughter

Let her daughter=x-2

The woman=y-2

x-2

7(y-2)=7y-14

x-2=7y-14

x-7y=-14+2

x-7y= -12 (1)

but in 3 years time she would be 4 times as old as the girl.

x+3

y+3

x+3

4(y+3)=4y+12

x+3=4y+12

x-4y=12-3

x-4y=9. (2)

x-7y= -12 (1)

x-4y=9. (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

4y-(-7y)=9-(-12)

-4y+7y=9+12

3y=21

y=21/3

y=7

Substitute

y=7 into (1)

x-7y= -12

x-7(7)=-12

x-49=-12

x= -12+49

=37

The present age of the woman is 37 years and her daughter is 7 years

PLEASE help me with this question!!! REALLY URGENT!

Answers

Answer:

The third table is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are concerned with determine which of the tables correctly represents what an exponential function is.

An exponential function is a function of the form;

y = x^n

where the independent variable x in this case is raised to a certain exponent so as to give the results on the dependent variable axis (y-axis)

In the table, we can see that we have 2 segments, one that contains digits 1,2 and so on while the other contains purely the powers of 10.

Now, let’s set up an exponential outlook;

y = 10^x

So we have;

1 = 10^0

10 = 10^1

1/10 = 10^-1

1000 = 10^3

1/100 = 10^-2

We can clearly see here that we have an increase in the value of y, depending on the value of the exponent.

However it is only this table that responds to this successive correctness as the other tables in the answer do have a point where they fail.

For example;

10^-2 is not 10 which makes the fourth table wrong

10^4 is not 100 which makes the first table wrong

we have same error on second table too


Let f (x) = |2). Write a function g whose graph is a vertical shrink by a factor of
followed by a translation 2 units up of the graph of f.

Answers

Answer:

This is poorly written, so i will answer it as it was:

"Let f (x) = |2). Write a function g(x) whose graph is a vertical shrink by a factor of  A, followed by a translation 2 units up of the graph of f."

I don't really know what you do mean by I2), so i will answer it in a general way.

First, we do a vertical shrink of factor A.

A must be a number smaller than one and larger than zero., then if g(x) is a vertical shrink of factor A of the graph of f(x), we have that:

g(x) = A*f(x)

As 0 < A < 1

We will have that the graph of g(x) is a vertical compression of the graph of f(x)

Now we do a vertical shift of 2 units up.

A general vertical shift of N units up is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

Where N is a positive number.

So in our case, we have:

g(x) = A*f(x) + 2.

Where you will need to replace the values of A and f(x) depending on what the actual question says,

In a triangle the sum of the internal angles is 180 °.... Thus,

Ô = 60

The desired area is the area of the rectangle triangle, minus the area of the circular sector whose angle 60

A1 = area of the rectangle triangle

TG B = OA/AB

AB = OA / TG B

AB = 6 / TG 30

AB = 6√3

A1 = (AB . OA)/2

A1 = (6√3 . 6)/2

A1 = 18√3

A2 = area of the circular sector

(rule of 3)

Dr. Potter provides vaccinations against polio and measles. Each polio vaccination consists of 6 doses, and each measles vaccination consists of 3 doses. Last year, Dr. Potter gave a total of 60 vaccinations that consisted of a total of 225 doses. How many more measles vaccines did Mr. Potter give than polio? Show All Work !!

Answers

Answer:

The number of measles vaccines that Dr. Potter give than polio vaccines is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

The number of doses given in a polio vaccine = 6 doses

The number of doses given in a measles vaccine = 3 doses

The number of vaccinations given by Dr. Potter last year = 60 vaccinations

The number of doses given in the 60 vaccinations = 225 doses

Let the number of polio vaccine given last year by Dr. Potter = x

Let the number of measles vaccine given last year by Dr. Potter = y

Therefore, we have;

6 × x + 3 × y = 225.......................(1)

x + y = 60.......................................(2)

From equation (2), we have;

x = 60 - y

Substituting the derived value for x in equation (1), we get;

6 × x + 3 × y = 225

6 × (60 - y) + 3 × y = 225

360 - 6·y + 3·y = 225

360 - 225 = 6·y - 3·y

135 = 3·y

y = 45

x = 60 - y = 60 - 45 = 15

Therefore;

The number of polio vaccine given last year by Dr. Potter = 15

The number of measles vaccine given last year by Dr. Potter = 45

The number of measles vaccines that Dr. Potter give than polio vaccines = 45 - 15 = 30 vaccines.

The number of measles vaccines that Dr. Potter give than polio vaccines =  30 vaccines.

Answers

Answer:

Hey There!! The Correct answer is: The equation is w = 241(1.06)t

And here variable t represents the number of years since 2000.

In 2001 means t=2001 -2000 = 1

So we plug 1 for t in the given expression , that is w = 241(1.06)1 = 241 * 1.06 = 255.46

Therefore in 2001, it should be worth to 255.46.

And in the given expression 1.06=1 +0.06, where 0.06 is the annual percent of growth that is 6 % .

Hope It Helped!~ ♡

ItsNobody~ ☆

The projected annual percent of growth is 10% and the company worth in 2011 will be $587.74 millions. Then the correct option is C.

What is an exponent?

Consider the function:

y = a (1 ± r) ˣ

Where x is the number of times this growth/decay occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth/decay occurs.

If there is a plus sign, then there is exponential growth happening by r fraction or 100r %.

If there is a minus sign, then there is exponential decay happening by r fraction or 100r %.

The projected worth (in millions of dollars) of a large company is modeled by the equation is given as,

[tex]\rm w = 206\times (1.10)^t\\\\w = 206\times (1+0.10)^t[/tex]

Then the projected annual percent of growth is 10%.

The variable t represents the number of years since 2000.

Then the company worth in 2011 will be

w = 206 × 1.1¹¹

w = $587.74 millions

The projected annual percent of growth is 10% and the company worth in 2011 will be $587.74 millions.

Then the correct option is C.

Answers

Answer:

a. 9

b. 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) √1098 = 33.136

33^3 = 1089

So the answer is 1098 - 1089

= 9.

b) √4498 = 67.067

67^2 =  4489

Answer = 9.

Answer:

a). 9

b). 9

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If you try to subtract 1 to 8 from 1098, it won't make a perfect square. But if you subtract 9 from 1098 (that will make it 1089), it will make a perfect square.

√1089 = 33

33² = 33 × 33 = 1089

So the answer is 9.

b). If you try to subtract 1 to 8 from 4498, it won't make a perfect square. But if you subtract 9 from 4498 (that will make it 4489), it will make a perfect square.

√4489 = 67

67² = 67 × 67 = 4489

So the answer is 9.

In a naval engagement, one-third of the fleet was captured, one-sixth was sunk, and two ships were destroyed by fire. One-seventh of the surviving ships were lost in a storm after the battle. Finally, the twenty-four remaining ships sailed home. How many ships were in the fleet before the engagement?

Answers

Answer:

60 ships.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of ships in the naval fleet be represented by x

One-third of the fleet was captured = 1/3x

One-sixth was sunk = 1/6x

Two ships were destroyed by fire = 2

Let surviving ships be represented by y

One-seventh of the surviving ships were lost in a storm after the battle = 1/7y

Finally, the twenty-four remaining ships sailed home

The 24 remaining ships that sailed home =

y - 1/7y = 6/7y of the surviving fleet sailed home.

Hence

24 = 6/7y

24 = 6y/7

24 × 7/ 6

y = 168/6

y = 28

Therefore, total number of ships that survived is 28.

Surviving ships lost in the storm = 1/7y = 1/7 × 28 = 4

Total number of ships in the fleet(x) =

x = 1/3x + 1/6x + 2 + 28

Collect like terms

x - (1/3x + 1/6x) = 30

x - (1/2x) = 30

1/2x = 30

x = 30 ÷ 1/2

x = 30 × 2

x = 60

Therefore, ships that were in the fleet before the engagement were 60 ships.

Micha is playing a game with five cards numbered 1 through 5. He will place the cards in a bag and draw one card at random three times, replacing the card each time. To win a prize, he must draw the number 5 all three times. What is the probability he will draw the number 5 all three times?

Answers

Answer: 0.008

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 experiments.

Each experiment is exactly the same: "Drawing the card with the number 5, out of a bag with five cards".

in a random selection all the cards have exactly the same probability of being drawn, so the probability of drawing the 5, is equal to the quotient between the number of cards with the 5 (only one) and the total number of cards in the bag (5) then the probability is:

p = 1/5.

And we want this event to happen 3 consecutive times, then the total probability is equal to the product of the probabilities for each event:

P = (1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5) = 1/125 = 0.008
