The answer is a. -7
1. Find g(2).
2. Find f(g(2)).
g(x) = x² - 6x - 7
x = 2 ⇒ g(2) = ?
g(2) = 2² - 6·2 - 7 = 4 - 12 - 7 = -15
2. f(x) = x + 8
g(2) = -15
f(g(2)) = f(-15) = -15 + 8 = -7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The recursive rule is given by;
a = r .an-1 where n is the number of terms.
Given the sequence: -64, -16, -4 , -1, ....
This sequence is a geometric sequence with common ratio (r) = 1/4
Here, first term a1 = -64
Since,
\frac{-16}{-64} = \frac{1}{4}
\frac{-4}{-16} = \frac{1}{4} and so on....
The recursive rule for this sequence is;
an = 1/4*an-1
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x + 8 = -2
-5x + 8 - 8 = -2 -8
-5x = -10
-5x/5 = -10/5
-x = -2
x=2
