The average cost fir a gallon of gasoline increased from $2.04 one year to 3.20$ the next year. what is the percent of increase, rounded to the nearest whole number

ending amount = beginning amount / (2^n)

where "n" = number of half-lives (or elapsed time / half-life)

ending amount = 50 mg / (2 ^10 / 5.3)

ending amount = 50 mg / (2 ^ 1.8867924528)

ending amount = 50 m / 3.6981210597

ending amount = 13.5203794557 mg

or about 13.5 mg remain

asnwer is (g o h o f)(x) = 2x - 6/x + 7

step-by-step explanation:

given,

f(x) = x - 3/x

g(x) = x + 3

h(x) = 2x + 1

we need to find : (g o h o f)(x)

we can write (g o h o f)(x) = g[ h{ f(x) } ]

so first we find h{f(x)}

h{f(x)} = f(x) + 3 = (x - 3/x) + 3

h{f(x)} = x - 3/x + 3

now we find g[ h{ f(x) } ].

g[ h{ f(x) } ] = g(x - 3/x + 3)       {plug h{f(x)} = x - 3/x + 3 in g[h{f(x)}] }

g(x - 3/x + 3) = 2 (x - 3/x + 3) + 1

                    = 2x - 6/x + 6 + 1

                    = 2x - 6/x + 7

hence we get (g o h o f)(x) = 2x - 6/x + 7
