[Function Composition] could someone help me with this answers or show work either is fine

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following expressions

f(x) = x³-2x

g(x) =-x-2

We are to find (fog)(-5)

fog = f(g(x))

f(g(x)) = f(-x-2)

Replace x with -x-2 in f(x)

f(-x-2) = (-x-2)³-2(-x-2)

f(-x-2) = (-x-2)³+2x+4

fog = (-x-2)³+2x+4

Substitute x = -5 into the result

fog(-5) = (-x-2)³+2x+4

fog(-5) = (-(-5)-2)³+2(-5)+4

fog(-5) = (5-2)³-10+4

fog(-5) = 3³-6

fog(-5) = 27-6

fog(-5) = 21

Hence the required result of the composite function is 21

you never say the total so we cant find the percentage used for petrol

step-by-step explanation:

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
