The cost, c, in dollars, of playing g games at an arcade game
center is modeled by the linear function c = 0.5g + 2.
determine the rate of change of the function and explain
what this value means in terms of the context.
determine the initial value of the function and explain what
this value means in terms of the context.

The rate of change is 0.5 which means that each game cost .50 cents

The initial value is 2 which means that you must initially pay $2.00

squares, rhombus, rectangles

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
