Answer: 4

=====================================================

Displayed Work:

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

$g(x) = x^2\\\\g(h(x)) = (h(x))^2 \ \text{replace every x with h(x)}\\\\g(h(x)) = (x-7)^2 \ \text{replace h(x) with x-7}\\\\(g \circ h)(x) = (x-7)^2$

Now substitute x = 5

$(g \circ h)(x) = (x-7)^2 \\\\(g \circ h)(5) = (5-7)^2 \\\\(g \circ h)(5) = (-2)^2\\\\ (g \circ h)(5) = 4$

---------------------

Alternative approach:

h(x) = x-7

h(5) = 5-7

h(5) = -2

Thus

g(h(5)) = g(-2)

and

g(x) = x^2

g(-2) = (-2)^2

g(-2) = 4

Thus giving

$g(-2) = g(h(5)) = (g \circ h)(5) = 4$

Given: △ABC, m∠A=60° m∠C=45°, AB=8 Find: Perimeter of △ABC, Area of △ABC

Svet_ta [12734]

We are given the triangle

△ABC, with m∠A=60° and m∠C=45°, and AB=8.

To start, we will calculate all angles and sides.

Finding angle B:

The total of all angles in a triangle equals 180.

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180.

Substituting the known values,

60° + m∠B + 45° = 180.

This gives us m∠B = 75°.

Calculating BC:

Using the law of sines,

$\frac{AB}{sin(C)}=\frac{BC}{sin(A)}$

We can substitute in the values.

$\frac{8}{sin(45)}=\frac{BC}{sin(60)}$

$BC=\frac{8}{sin(45)} \times sin(60)$

$BC=9.798$

Finding AC:

$\frac{AB}{sin(C)}=\frac{AC}{sin(B)}$

Now we'll input the values.

$\frac{8}{sin(45)}=\frac{AC}{sin(75)}$

$AC=\frac{8}{sin(45)} \times sin(75)$

$AC=10.928$

Calculating Perimeter:

$p=AB+BC+AC$

We substitute values here as well.

$p=10.928+8+9.798$

$p=28.726$

Calculating Area:

Using the area formula,

$A=\frac{1}{2}AB \times AC \times sin(A)$

we can then insert values.

$A=\frac{1}{2}8 \times 10.928 \times sin(60)$

$A=37.85570$ ...............Answer

tester [12383]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

-52. None of the alternatives presented is accurate

Discussion:

Based on standard mathematical operations, none of the given solutions is correct. The calculation results in

2*3 + 4- 62 = => * before + and -

(2*3) + 4 - 62= => 2*3 = 6

6 + 4 -62 = => 6 + 4 = 10

10 - 62 =

-52

The area of an extra large circular pizza from Gambino's Pizzeria is 484\pi \text{ cm}^2484π cm 2 484, pi, space, c, m, start su

zzz [12365]

Answer:

The diameter of a large pizza from Gambino's Pizzeria is $44\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

The area of a circle (circular pizza) is calculated as

$A=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$A=484\pi\ cm^{2}$

substitute values into the equation and resolve for the radius r

$484\pi=\pi r^{2}$

Simplify

$484=r^{2}$

$r=22\ cm$

Determine the diameter

Remember, the diameter is double the radius

$D=2(22)=44\ cm$
