Answer:

$f(g(x)) = \frac{1}{3}x^4 - 18x^2 + 252$

$g(f(x)) = 3x^4 + 18x^2 + 18$

<em>f(x) and g(x) and not inverse functions</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = 3x^2 + 9$

$g(x) = \dfrac{1}{3}x^2 - 9$

Required

Determine f(g(x))

Determine g(f(x))

Determine if both functions are inverse:

Calculating f(g(x))

$f(x) = 3x^2 + 9$

$f(g(x)) = 3(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9)^2 + 9$

$f(g(x)) = 3(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9)(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9) + 9$

Expand Brackets

$f(g(x)) = (x^2 - 27)(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9) + 9$

$f(g(x)) = x^2(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9) - 27(\frac{1}{3}x^2 - 9) + 9$

$f(g(x)) = \frac{1}{3}x^4 - 9x^2 - 9x^2 + 243 + 9$

$f(g(x)) = \frac{1}{3}x^4 - 18x^2 + 252$

Calculating g(f(x))

$g(x) = \dfrac{1}{3}x^2 - 9$

$g(f(x)) = \frac{1}{3}(3x^2 + 9)^2 - 9$

$g(f(x)) = \frac{1}{3}(3x^2 + 9)(3x^2 + 9) - 9$

$g(f(x)) = (x^2 + 3)(3x^2 + 9) - 9$

Expand Brackets

$g(f(x)) = x^2(3x^2 + 9) + 3(3x^2 + 9) - 9$

$g(f(x)) = 3x^4 + 9x^2 + 9x^2 + 27 - 9$

$g(f(x)) = 3x^4 + 18x^2 + 18$

Checking for inverse functions

$f(x) = 3x^2 + 9$

Represent f(x) with y

$y = 3x^2 + 9$

Swap positions of x and y

$x = 3y^2 + 9$

Subtract 9 from both sides

$x - 9 = 3y^2 + 9 - 9$

$x - 9 = 3y^2$

$3y^2 = x - 9$

Divide through by 3

$\frac{3y^2}{3} = \frac{x}{3} - \frac{9}{3}$

$y^2 = \frac{x}{3} - 3$

Take square root of both sides

$\sqrt{y^2} = \sqrt{\frac{x}{3} - 3}$

$y = \sqrt{\frac{x}{3} - 3}$

Represent y with g(x)

$g(x) = \sqrt{\frac{x}{3} - 3}$

Note that the resulting value of g(x) is not the same as $g(x) = \dfrac{1}{3}x^2 - 9$

<em>Hence, f(x) and g(x) and not inverse functions</em>

6 tractors take 10days to collect the harvest. How long would it take 18 tractors to do the same amount of work?

Nutka1998 [239]

This is a question of proportionality. However, it is not direct proportionality as it is expected that as the number of tractors increases, the work is finished faster as opposed to fewer number of tractors. This is referred to as inverse proportionality.

Therefore;
6 tractors ----- 10 days
18 tractors --- x days

Then,
x = (6*10)/18 = 10/3 days = 3 days, and 8 hours.

This means that 18 tractors will take 3 days and 8 hours to collect the same harvest.

Chang and Carlotta solve this problem in two different ways. You have $50 in your bank account. You make $8 per hour mowing lawn

Tamiku [17]

HELLO,

Your answer is 130-50=80
You would have to make 80 dollars,

So 8 dollars per hour (of course that is below minimum wage that means you need a raise).

Therefore, you need to mow lawns for 10 hours

Thanks for posting your question here on brainly.
Hope this helps you.
Let me know if its correct.
