For what values of x is x^2-36=5x true?

x = - 4, x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 36 = 5x ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x² - 5x - 36 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 9)(x + 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

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

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
