(x^2)^4/x^5 simplify the following, giving your answer with a positive exponent.

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

a)(x-2)^2+(y-1)^2=9

step-by-step explanation:

(picture explains)

the answer is 40.
