Angelica is working on function machines. She has two machines g(x)=square root x-5 and h(x)= x^2-6. she wants to put them in order so that the output of the first machine becomes the input of the second. she wants to use a beginning input of 6.a) in what order must she put the machines to get a final output of 5.
b)is it possible for her to get a final output of -5? if so,show how she could do that. If not explain why not.

PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1
Answer: g(h(x))=√(x^2-6-5)=√(x^2-11)\ng(h(6))=√(6^2-11)=√(36-11)=√(25)=5

a)
h(x) is the input for g(x), so h(x) must be first

b)
It's impossible for g(h(x)=√(x^2-11), because its value is always non-negative for any x. Let's see what about h(g(x)).

h(g(x))=(√(x-5))^2-6=x-5-6=x-11

The result is a non-constant linear function, so its value can be any real number, including -5. You can calculate for what x it's equal to -5.

x-11=-5\nx=6

x-11=-5\nx=6
Answer 2
Answer:

a) To get a final output of 5 , she must first input 6 into machine h(x) , then the result from machine h(x) is input back to machine g(x).

b) It is possible to get a final output of -5. It could be done by first input 6 into machine g(x) , then the result from machine g(x) is input back to machine h(x).

Further explanation

Function is a relation which each member of the domain is mapped onto exactly one member of the codomain.

There are many types of functions in mathematics such as :

  • Linear Function → f(x) = ax + b
  • Quadratic Function → f(x) = ax² + bx + c
  • Trigonometric Function → f(x) = sin x or f(x) = cos x or f(x) = tan x
  • Logarithmic function → f(x) = ln x
  • Polynomial function → f(x) = axⁿ + bxⁿ⁻¹ + ...

If function f : x → y , then inverse function f⁻¹ : y → x

Let us now tackle the problem!

This problem is about Composition of Functions.

Question a:

Given:

g(x) = √(x - 5)

h(x) = x^2 - 6

( h \circ g )( x ) = h ( g ( x ) )

( h \circ g )( x ) = h ( \sqrt {x - 5} )

( h \circ g )( x ) = (\sqrt {x - 5})^2 - 6

( h \circ g )( x ) = x - 5 - 6

( h \circ g )( x ) = x - 11

( h \circ g )( 6 ) = 6 - 11

\large {\boxed {( h \circ g )( 6 ) = -5 } }

( g \circ h )( x ) = g ( h ( x ) )

( g \circ h )( x ) = g ( x^2 - 6 )

( g \circ h )( x ) = \sqrt {( x^2 - 6 ) - 5 }

( g \circ h )( x ) = \sqrt { x^2 - 11 }

( g \circ h )( 6 ) = \sqrt { 6^2 - 11 }

( g \circ h )( 6 ) = \sqrt { 25 }

\large {\boxed {( g \circ h )( 6 ) = 5 } }

To get a final output of 5 , she must first input 6 into machine h(x) , then the result from machine h(x) is input back to machine g(x).

Question b:

From the results above , it is possible to get a final output of -5.

It could be done by first input 6 into machine g(x) , then the result from machine g(x) is input back to machine h(x).

What is the value of x in the equation 7x 2y = 48 , when y = 3?

Answers

2y will be known as 2(3) since y=3 so it will be 7x times 6 so the. you subtract 6 from both sides and you get 7x=42 the. you divide 7 on both sides and the answer will be 6

What is the value of x in the equation 7x + 2y = 48

Given y=3

We plug in 3 for y and solve for x

7x + 2y = 48

7x + 2(3) = 48

7x + 6 = 48 ( subtract 6 on both sides)

7x + 6 - 6 = 48 -6

7x = 42

Divide by 7 on both sides

x = 6

the value of x = 6

We can say the value of x=6 when the value of y = 3


The following are angles in a convex quadrilateral: Angle A = 34 degrees Angle B = 108 degree Angle C = 65 degrees What is the measure of the missing angle?

Answers

In a quadrilateral all angels must equal 360 degress. So by adding your angels up and then subtracting them from 360, you will find the missing angle. 

34 + 108 + 65 = 207 

360-207 = 153 

Your unknown angle is 153 degrees
Well since it is a quadrilateral, the degrees equal 360. So add 108 + 34 + 65 = 207. Then subtract 207 from 360. 360 - 207 = 153. So 153 is your missing angle. To check just add 153 + 65 + 34 + 108 = 360.

What is the value of x if 3ax - 4x equals 15a -20?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

3ax - 4x = 15a - 20

x(3a - 4) = 15a - 20

so,

x × 3a = 15a

x × 3 = 15

x = 15/3 = 5

x × -4 = -20

x = -20/-4 = 5

since both terms have the same solution, it is the solution for the whole equation :

x = 5

Convert 38% into a fraction

Answers

When converting numbers we always put the number over 100, so your answer is 38/100. Now when simplifying the fraction we are going to be utilizing the greatest common factor (GCF) so when we do that the answer we get is 19/50.

Given the equation Square root of 8x plus 1 = 5, solve for x and identify if it is an extraneous solution.

Answers

It depends if you mean √(8x) +1=5 or √(8x+1) = 5 

√(8x) +1=5

Subtract 1 from both sides. 

√(8x) =4

Take the square root of both sides. 

8x = sqrt(4) 
8x = 2
x = 1/4.

Plugging it back in: 
sqrt(8*0.25) + 1 = 5 
sqrt(2) = 4

This is not true because the square root of 2 is about 1.41, which does not equal 4. 
So it is an extraneous solution.
__________________________________________
√(8x+1) = 5 
Square both sides. 
8x + 1 = 25 
8x = 24
x = 3

Not extraneous because equation works out when you plug x back in.
