What is the inverse of this function?

Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = y = -1/2 × sqrt(x + 3), x >= -3

-2y = sqrt(x + 3)

4y² = x + 3

x = 4y² - 3

and now we need to rename x to y and y to x to make it a "normal" function :

y = 4x² - 3

since in the original function x >= -3, this gave us y <=0.

and therefore (remember the x of the inverse function actually stands for the y of the original function) the limit for the inverse function is x <= 0.

so, again, the full answer is

f^-1(x) = 4x² - 3, x <= 0

How can I find X and Y in this diagram?

Nastasia [14]

Given the figure of a cyclic quadrilateral

The sum of the opposite angles = 180

so, we can write the following equations:

$\begin{gathered} x+100=180\rightarrow(1) \\ 2y+102=180\rightarrow(2) \end{gathered}$

we will find (x) from equation (1):

x = 180 - 100 = 80

We will find (y) from equation (2):

2y = 180 - 102

2y = 78

y=78/2 = 39

So, the answer will be:

x = 80

y = 39

Answer:

The cost is a fixed $2, plus $3.25 for any additional hour.

Then if you rent it for x hours, the cost is:

c(x) = $2 + $3.25*x

Is this situation continuous or discrete?

Yes, it is discrete, because x is "the number of hours"

so if you rent it for 1.30 hours, they will say "ok, this is equivalent to two hours".

This means that while the values of x are continuous, the possible costs are:

{$2, $2 + $3.25, $2 + 2*$3.25, ....}

Which is a discrete set.

Then the sign for 1 to 5 hours will be:

1 hour ---------- $2 + $3.25 = $5.25

2 hours -------- $2 + 2*$3.25 = $8.50

3 hours--------- $2 + 3*$3.25 = $11.75

4 hours--------- $2 + 4*$3.25 = $15

5 hours -------- $2 + 5*$3.25 = $18.25

In the other park the cost is only $4 for each hour (no fixed cost) then the total cost for x hours is:

c(x) = $4*x

Now, which option is better?

If we look at the costs for different numbers of hours for this other equation, we have:

1 hour ----- $4

2 hours ---- 2*$4 = $8

3 hours ----- 3*$4 = $12

4 hours ------ 4*$4 = $16

Then: if you want to skate 2 hours or less, Skate City is cheaper, if you want to skate more than that, kate Days is cheaper.

This happens because the first one has a smaller slope, meaning that is larger at first, but as x grows the price does not grow as much as in Skate City

inessss [21]

Answer:

$\frac{1429}{120}$ or $11\frac{109}{120}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A farmer has a basket of peaches. He gives ⅓ of the peaches to one person, ¼ to another, ⅕ to another, ⅛ to another, and then gives 7 peaches to a 5th person.

Remaining peaches = 4

We need to find the original number of peaches in the basket.

The farmer gives the total number of peaches = $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{8}+7$
