The functions it f and g are defined for all real values of x by f(x)=x^2+4ax+a^2 and g(x)=4x-2a where a is a positive constant.

Given that fg(3)=69 find the value of a and hence find the value of x such that g^-1(x) =x

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

We find fg(x) by replacing the x in f(x) by g(x), so:

fg(x) = (4x - 2a)^2 + 4a(4x - 2a) + a^2

fg(3) = 89 so:

(4(3) - 2a)^2 + 4a(4(3) - 2a) + a^2 = 69

(12 - 2a)^2 + 48a - 8a^2 + a^2 - 69 = 0

144 - 48a + 4a^2 + 48a - 8a^2 + a^2 - 69 = 0

-3a^2  + 75 = 0

-3a^2  = -75

a^2 = 25

a = 5.

Now g(x) = 4x - 2(5) = 4x - 10.

Finding g-1(x);

4x = g(x) + 10

x = (g(x) + 10)/4

So g-1(x) = (x + 10)/4

When g-1(x)= x

x = (x +10)/4

4x = x + 10

3x = 10

x = 10/3.

contestants in a dance-a-thon rest for the same amount of time every hour.a couple rests for 25 minutes in 5 hours.how long did
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer

Find out the how long did they rest in 8 hours.

To prove

As given

contestants in a dance-a-thon rest for the same amount of time every hour.

A couple rests for 25 minutes in 5 hours .

As

25 mintues = 5 hours

1\ hours = \frac{25}{5}\ mintues

1 hours = 5 mintues

Thus in 1hours a the dance -a-thon rest for 5 mintues.

Now for 8 hours.

8 hours = 8 × 5 mintues

           = 40 mintues

Therefore in 8 hours  a dance-a-thon rest for 40 mintues.

Express the polar coordinates (-1, 180) as Cartesian coordinates.
Mashcka [7]
Answer: The correct point is (1, 0)

In polar coordinates, the first number is the distance from the origin in any direction. The second number is an angle measurement that tells us the direction to go from the origin.

Therefore, we have to move -1 one unit (or backwards) from the origin. Now, all we need to know is the direction to move.

The second number is 180, so we make an angle of 180 degrees and move in that direction.

But where do we start?

We always start from the origin straight right along the x-axis. That is degrees 0. So a 180 degree angle would move us left along the x-axis. But remember, we are moving back 1 space, so we will end up at (1, 0).
