Suppose two function machines are hooked up in a sequence, so the output chute of machine g empties into the input hopper of machine f. Such a coupling of machines, which is defined if the range of g is a subset of the domain of f, is called the composition of f and g and can be written F(x) = f(g(x)). Suppose f is the doubling function f(x) = 2x and g is the "add 8" function g(x) = x +8. Suppose the doubling and the "add 8" machines are coupled in reverse order to define the composition of g and f given by G(x) = g(f(x)). Then G(4) = g(f(4) = g(2 x 4) = g(8) = 8+ 8 = 16. Evaluate g(f(x)) for x = 0, 1, 2, and 3. g(f(0)) = g(f(1)) = g(f(2)) = | g(f(3)) =|

Plutonium-239 is a radioactive substance that is a waste product produced by nuclear power plants. Plutonium-239 decays at a rate of 2.8% per thousand years. Each year, the world's muclear power plants produce approximately 70000 tons of plutonium Assume that 70000 tons of plutonium were produced in 2011. Let ƒ be the function that, to each time t in thousands of years, assigns the amount of plutonium produced in 2011 that still remains after time t. Answer the following questions. Explain completely. (a) How much of the plutonium produced in 2011 will remain after 1000 years? (b) Determine a formula for f(t). Use the formula to determine how much plutonium that was produced in 2011 will still remain after 20,000 years.
