If
f(x)=x^2+2x-4
and
g(x)=3x+1
find
f(g(x))=__x^2+__x+__

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² + 2x - 4

g(x) = 3x + 1

f(g(x)) = f(3x + 1)

f(3x + 1) = [3x + 1]² + 2[3x + 1] - 4

= 9x² + 6x + 1 + 6x + 2 - 4

= 9x² + 12x -1

the answer is 8.64

step-by-step explanation:

the exponential expression to find the value of the cd, in dollars, after t years will be:  

step-by-step explanation:

formula of compound interest:   , where final value after years,   initial value, rate of interest in decimal and number of compounding in a year.

oliver plans to purchase a $1,500 certificate of deposit (cd) at his bank. that means,  

the cd will earn 2.3% interest, compounded semi-annually.

so,   and  

now, plugging these values into the above formula, we will

(rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth)

so, the exponential expression to find the value of the cd, in dollars, after t years will be:
