If f(x) = x+1 and g(x) =x^2, then gf(2) =

g(f(2)) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate f(2) and substitute the value obtained into g(x)

f(2) = 2 + 1 = 3 , then

g(3) = 3² = 9

9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x+1(i)

g(x)= x^2( ii ).

gf(2)(III)

substitute f( 2) to (I)

f(2)=2+1

f(2)=3

gx=gf(2)

gf(2)= 3^2

=9

3. parallelogram

step-by-step explanation:

we turn each of our sides into direction vectors

ab=b-a=(3 - 7, 1 - 0) = (-4, 1)

bc=c-b=(1,6)

cd=d-c=(4,-1)

da=a-d=(-1,-6)

we see how the opposite sides have negated direction vectors; this is characteristic of a parallelogram.   we have congruent sides ab=cd and bc=da with unequal lengths because 1^2+6^2 is different from (-4)^2+1^2.   so it's not a square or a rhombus.  

we check the dot product of direction vectors of adjacent sides.   we have

ab dot bc = -4(1) + 1(6) = 2

that's not zero so the sides are not perpendicular.   we've ruled out rectangle.

the direction vectors indicate two pairs of congruent parallel sides, so we choose parallelogram over trapezoid.
