Question 9

Given $$f(x) = x^2$ and g(x) = x + 1$, what is (f$$ \circ g)(2)$$?

Accepted Answer

$$f(g(2)) = f(3) = 9$$

Question 10

A company models its profit $$P as a $$function of units sold $$x by$$ $$P(x) = -2x^2$ + 40x - 100. $$What is the maximum profit?

Accepted Answer

$$P(10) = -2(10)^2$ + 40(10) - 100 = -200 + 400 - 100 = 100$$

Accepted Answer

$$f(3) - g(3) = 9 - 6 = 3$$

Question 17

A real-world scenario: The height $$h (in $$meters) of a ball thrown upward is modeled by $$h(t) = -4.9t^2$ + 20t + 1.5. $$What is the maximum height reached by the ball?

Accepted Answer

$$h(2.04) \approx -4.9(2.04)^2$ + 20(2.04) + 1.5 \approx 21.9$$ meters
