People learn new languages for many different reasons -- from personal enrichment to school credit to necessity. When approaching a new language we find patterns that are the product of rules. For example, languages have rules that govern grammatical structures, pronunciations, and word order
Communication is difficult when we break those rules.
Compare learning about functions to learning a new language. How are they similar?

F(x)= 1/x-4, g(x)=4x+1/x a. use composition to prove whether or not the functions are inverses of each other. b. express the domain of the compositions using interval notation.

Find the area and perimeter of each composite figure. use 3.14 for π. round your answer to the nearest tenth. a square and a right triangle share a common side. image long description a 3-meter by 0.5-meter rectangle has triangles attached like wings to the 3-meter sides. the other two sides of both triangles measure 2.5 meters. the height of each triangle is 2 meters. a 6-inch by 4-inch rectangle has 2 half-circles attached like wings to the 6-inch sides. the radius of each half-circle is 3 inches. find the surface area and volume of each figure. use 3.14 for π. round your answer to the nearest tenth. a right circular cylinder has a base radius of 6 yards and a height of 20 yards. a rectangular prism has a base that is 9 centimeters long and 7 centimeters wide. the height is 2 centimeters. a rectangular prism has a base that measures 11 millimeters by 11 millimeters. the height is 11 millimeters.
