<h2>Translating Words into Problems</h2>

We can translate a word equation into a mathematical equation by translating key words into operations.

  • <em>difference</em> = subtract
  • <em>is</em> = equals

<h2>Addinng Fractions</h2>

Whenever we need to add one fraction to another, we must find a common denominator, change both the fractions for their denominators to be the same, and then add the numerators. Finally, we reduce the fraction.

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

We're given:

  • The difference of n and \dfrac{1}{6} is \dfrac{1}{2}.

Translate the given information into an equation:

⇒ n-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Solve for <em>n</em>:

⇒ n-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\n=\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\n=\dfrac{3}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\n=\dfrac{4}{6}\\\\n=\dfrac{2}{3}

<h2>Answer</h2>

n=\dfrac{2}{3}

Let ABC be an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and ∠BAC=30°. Side AB and the median AD contain points Q and P respectively (point
juin [17]

Answer:

15°

brainlest

Step-by-step explanation:

Since P is on the median of ΔABC, it is equidistant from points B and C as well as from C and Q. Thus, points B, C, and Q all lie on a circle centered at P. (See the attached diagram.)

The base angles (B and C) of triangle ABC are (180° -30°)/2 = 75°. This means arc QC of the circle centered at P has measure 150°. The diameter of circle P that includes point Q is defined to intersect circle P at R.

Central angle RPC is the difference between arcs QR and QC, so is 180° -150° = 30°. Inscribed angle RQC has half that measure, so is 15°.  Angle PQC has the same measure as angle RQC, so is 15°.

Angle PQC is 15°.

Find the inverse of the following function. Then prove they are inverses of one another.
solmaris [256]

Answer: \dfrac{x^2+1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x)=\sqrt{2x-1}

We can write it as

\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{2x-1}

Express x in terms of y

\Rightarrow y^2=2x-1\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{y^2+1}{2}

Replace y be x to get the inverse

\Rightarrow f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x^2+1}{2}

To prove, it is inverse of f(x). f(f^{-1}(x))=x

\Rightarrow f(f^{-1}(x))=\sqrt{2\times \dfrac{x^2+1}{2}-1}\\\\\Rightarrow f(f^{-1}(x))=\sqrt{x^2+1-1}\\\\\Rightarrow f(f^{-1}(x))=x

So, they are inverse of each other.
