Find f(x) and g(x) so that the function can be described as y = f(g(x)).

y = 4/x^2+9

I'm assuming all of (x^2+9) is in the denominator. If that assumption is correct, then,

One possible answer is

Another possible answer is

There are many ways to do this. The idea is that when we have f( g(x) ), we basically replace every x in f(x) with g(x)

So in the first example above, we would have

In that third step, g(x) was replaced with x^2+9 since g(x) = x^2+9.

Similar steps will happen with the second example as well (when g(x) = x^2)

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x
