Answer:

  (a)  h(x) = 1/2x -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse of the function y = f(x) is found by solving x = f(y).

__

<h3>setup</h3>

  x = f(y)

  x = 2y +1 . . . . . . use the definition of f(x)

<h3>solution</h3>

  x -1 = 2y . . . . . subtract 1

  (x -1)/2 = y . . . . divide by 2

  y = 1/2x -1/2 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  h(x) = 1/2x -1/2 . . . write in functional form

The inverse of f(x) = 2x+1 is ...

  h(x) = 1/2x -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

for the inverse function we simply try to turn y and x around, and find the equation that calculates x out of y instead of y out of x.

remember,

f(x) = y

so, we have

y = 2x + 1

y - 1 = 2x

x = y/2 - 1/2

now we just rename x to y and y to x to make this a "normal" function :

y = h(x) = x/2 - 1/2

so, the first answer option is correct.

1. Which equation is equivalent to the equation 6x + 9 = 12?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

B) 2x+3=4

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+9=12

6x=12-9

6x=3

x=3/6

x=1/2

---------------

Because 2x+3=4, 2x=4-3, 2x=1, x=1/2.
