The composite functions and their domains are listed as follows:

a) (f ∘ g)(x) = sin(2x/(x + 5)), domain is all real values except x = -5.

b) (g ∘ f)(x) = sin(2x)/(sin(2x) + 5), domain is all real values except x = -5 and the values of x for which sin(2x) + 5 = 0.

c) (f ∘ f)(x) = sin(sin(2x)), domain is all real values.

d) (g ∘ g)(x) = x/(6x + 5), domain is all real values except x = -5 and x = -5/6.

How to obtain the composite functions and their domains?


The composite functions are found applying the inner function as the input to the outer function, according to the rule presented as follows:

(f ∘ g)(x) = f(g(x)).

The domain is the set of values that respect all the input constraints of the inner function, of the outer function, and of the composite function.

For this problem, the functions are given as follows:

f(x) = sin(2x).g(x) = x/(x + 5).

For item a, the inner function g is applied as the input to the outer function f, hence:

f(g(x)) = sin(2x/(x + 5))

The sine has no constrains, the fraction cannot have a denominator zero, hence the domain is composed by all real values except x = -5.

The other composite functions are listed as follows:

g(f(x)) = sin(2x)/(sin(2x) + 5), domain is all real values except x = -5(constraint of g(x)) and the values of x for which sin(2x) + 5 = 0.f(f(x)) = sin(sin(2x)), the domain is all real values, as the sine has no restriction.

[tex]g(g(x)) = \frac{\frac{x}{x + 5}}{\frac{x}{x + 5} + 5} = \frac{x}{6x + 5}[/tex]

Domain is all real values except:

x = -5 -> constraint of g(x).x = -5/6 -> constrain of the composite function.

The length of i will be 531.3 inch when h is 300 inch and ∠G is 30° and ∠H is 29°.

What is angle?

When two straight lines or rays intersect at a shared terminal, an angle is generated. An angle's vertex is the common point of contact. The difference in direction between two lines or surfaces is defined as an angle. Angles are expressed in degrees. From a same point, the two hands draw separate sets of lines. Angle refers to these groups of lines that originate from a common point. Every minute, the two hands create various angles. In real life, one example of an angle is a clock.

Here,

∠I=180-(30+29)

=180-59

Answers

The point estimate for the lifetime of a certain type of battery is 120.1 hours.

How to illustrate the information?

Let X represent the battery's lifetime. X has a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 20 hours. The sample size is 50, and the average lifetime is 120.1 hours.

Calculating the mean of a sample drawn from the population yields a point estimate of the population's mean. The mean is calculated as the sum of all sample values divided by the number of values.

A single value estimate of a parameter is referred to as a point estimate. A sample mean, for example, is a point estimate of the population mean. An interval estimate provides a range of values within which the parameter is expected to fall. The population mean point estimate is sample mean and this is 120.1 hours.

Answers

The quantity of items tha must be made for supply to equal demand is 2050 items

What is demand?

Demand simply means a consumer's desire to buy goods and services without any hesitation and pay the price for it.

To calculate the unit of quantity Q that must be made for demand to be equal to supply, we equate the demand and supply equation.

From the question,

For Demand

Q = 2500-6P............... Equation 1

From Supply,

Q = 1750+4P........... Equation 2

When supply is equal to demand

2500-6P = 1750+4P

Solve for P

10P = 2500-175010P = 750P = 750/10P = 75

Substitute the values of P into equation 1

Q = 2500-6(75)Q = 2500-450Q = 2050

Hence, the quantity of items tha must be made 2050 items.

What is rotation?

A rotation is a transformation in which each point of a preimage is turned through a predetermined angle and direction around a fixed point. The center of rotation is the fixed point. The term for the amount of rotation is the angle of rotation, and it is expressed in degrees. Measure the specified angle in the anticlockwise direction using a protractor.

Given: Triangle RST has vertices R(1, 1), S(1, 4), and T(3, 1).

We have to find the coordinates of T' after counterclockwise rotation of 180°.

Since, The rule for a rotation by 180° about the origin is (x, y) → (−x, −y).

So, the coordinates R(1, 1), S(1, 4) and T(3, 1) changes to R'(-1, -1), S'(-1, -4) and T'(-3, -1).

Therefore, the coordinates of T' are T'(-3, -1).

The path of a baseball is modeled by the equation [tex]y=-0.25x^{2} +4x+3[/tex] where x represents the time (in seconds) and y represents the height of the baseball.
- Find and interpret the y-intercept. Find the maximum height of the baseball. Then sketch a graph of the path.

(please provide steps on how to solve if you can)

Answers

Answer:

The y-intercept is when $x=0$ so $y=32\frac{ft}{s}*0-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*0^2=0$, so the ball starts on the ground. The maximum height is when $v=0$, so $0=32\frac{ft}{s}-9.8t$ and solving for $t$ we get $t=\frac{32}{9.8}=3.265s$, and plugging this back in for $y$ we get $y=32\frac{ft}{s}*3.265s-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*3.265^2=156.205 ft$. So the ball will be at its maximum height of 156.205 ft at 3.265 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The $y$-intercept is $-1$.  The maximum height of the baseball is when $y=0$; that is when $x=\ln(4)$.  Here is a sketch of the path.

From the $y$-intercept, we see that the baseball starts at height $y=-1$.  It reaches a maximum height at $x=\ln(4)$; that is, $y=0$.  From there, it falls and reaches the ground at $x=2\ln(4)$; that is, $y=-1$ again.

How to analyze quadratic equations to find the main features of a free fall

A free fall is an uniformly accelerated motion experimented by a particle due to the effects of gravity. The position of the ball (s) in time (t), in seconds, is described by a quadratic equation.

a) First, we find the maximum height reached by the ball:

s(t) = 80 · t - 16 · t²

16 · t² - 80 · t + s(t) = 0

Then, by using the discriminant:

(- 80)² - 4 · 16 · s(t) = 0

64 · s(t) = (- 80)²

s(t) = 100 ft

b) Second, find the function velocity by derivatives:

v(t) = 80 - 32 · t

Third, find the time related to the position s(t) = 96 ft:

s(t) = 80 · t - 16 · t²

100 = 80 · t - 16 · t²

16 · t² - 80 · t + 96 = 0

Then, by quadratic equation:

t = 3 s or t = 2 s.

Fourth, evaluate the function velocity:

v(2) = 80 - 32 · 2

v(2) = 16

v(3) = 80 - 32 · 3

v(3) = - 16

The velocity of the ball when s(t) = 96 ft on its way up is 16 feet per second.

c) The velocity of the ball when s(t) = 96 ft on its way down is - 16 feet per second.

Your classmate is starting a new fitness program. He is planning to ride his bicycle 60 minutes every day. He burns 8 calories per minute bicycling at 11 mph and 12.75 calories per minute bicycling at 15 mph. How long should he bicycle at each speed to burn 575 ​calories?

Answers

The distance it should take my classmate to ride the bicycle at each speed to burn 575 calories would be = 13.2m for first speed and 11.3m for the second speed.

What is a fitness program?

A fitness program is defined as the program that is adequately organised for the purpose of maintaining proper healthy calories.

The period he plans to ride the bicycle for a day = 60minutes.

For the first speed,

8 cal/ min = 11mph

To convert to hour,

8 × 60 =480

He burns 480cal per hour in 11mph speed

If 480cal = 11 mph

575 cal = X

make X the subject of formula;

X = 575×11/480

X = 6325/480

X = 13.2 m

For the second speed;

12.75 cal/ min = 15mph

To convert to hour,

12.75 × 60 =765cal

He burns 765cal per hour in 11mph speed.

If 765cal = 15mph

575 cal = y

make y the subject of formula;

y = 575 × 15/765

y = 8625/765

y = 11.3 m

The length of the longer side of a rectangle is 2 in. less than twice the length of
the shorter side. The area of the rectangle is 60 in2. What is the difference
between the lengths of the longer and shorter sides?

Answers

Here, this question is about extracting information from the text: the only thing you need to know in advance is the formula for area of a rectangle which is length times width equals area ( l x w = a).

To unpack the words, here is a list of what we are told:

The length is given to us as a function of width which means if I’m selecting something to be “x,” my variable I’m going to make it the width. Thus first things first - “x” will equal my width. Remember though that when we solve this equation we are building it will give us the LENGTH

We are told “2 feet more than.” “More than sounds a lot like addition doesn’t it? Therefore somewhere in my equation I’m adding two to something!

We are told “Twice the width.” Twice sounds a lot like multiplication doesn’t it? Therefore, somewhere in my equation I’m multiplying something by 2!

Finally we are told that the area is 60 square feet! This means what? That l x w = 60! This means that whatever I do in my equation, after the equals sign will be “60l”

Okay! Time to build the equation!
First… it’s equal to 60 so it begins with … = 60
Next, the first thing we said is the width would be x so since we are using l x w = a, I can put in x for the width so… l * x = 60

Now the tricky part…how is the length defined? Well we know! It’s 2 times the width plus 2! So…this is what the whole thing looks like: (2x+2)x = 60

Now we solve:
Distribute the x to eliminate the parentheses: 3x + 2x = 60

Combine like terms: 5x = 60

Divid both sides by 5: x = 12

REMEMBER THAT X IS ONLY THE LENGTH!
So the width is 12 minus two divided by 2 or 5

So Length = 12, Width = 5

check it: l x w = A, 12 x 5 = 60

Done
