Let f(x)=3x-6 and g(x)=x-2 find f(g(. (f • g)(5) and its domain

Solution for f(g(5)):

The notation f(g(5)) or (f • g)(5) means that we first plug 5 into the function g(x), simplify, then plug the answer that we got to f(x). We will do this step-by-step:

Step 1: Plugging 5 to g(x)

Step 2: Plugging the answer to f(x)

ANSWER: f(g(5)) is equal to 3.

Domain:

For the function f(g(x)), we can find the domain by analyzing the domains of each individual functions separately and excluding certain values depending on the restrictions from the outermost function.

However, since both functions have all real numbers as its domain, we will not need to do any exclusion anymore.

ANSWER: The domain of the function is all real numbers.

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.
