What is the inverse of this function?

Mathematics

1 answer:

Andreas93 [3]1 year ago

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 many pounds of candy worth 70 cents a pound must be mixed with 30 pounds of candy worth 90 cents a pound to produce a mixtur

Svet_ta [14]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

B) 10 pounds

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let x represent the amount of 70¢ candy to be added. The value of the mixture can be written as ...

... 90×30 + 70x = 85×(30+x) . . . . . where 30+x is the total weight of the mix

... 2700 +70x = 2550 +85x

... 150 = 15x . . . . . . add -70x-2550

... 10 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

10 pounds of candy at 70¢/lb must be added.

Which equation shows the point-slope form of the line that passes through (3, 2) and has a slope of ?

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

y – 2 = (x – 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

because (3, 2) was the point used for the equation but turned negative because you need to make it negative for the equation. y - y1 =m(x - x1)

About 33% of people who get their feet examined are found to have an ingrown toenail. What is the probability of a podiatrist ex

enot [183]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.94147

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denote the event that the podiatrist finds the first person with an ingrown toenail.

And (1 - A) denote the event that the podiatrist does not find the ingrown toenail.

While examining seven people, the podiatrist can find the very first person to have an ingrown toenail. Similarly he can find the second patient to have the ingrown toenail. Going in this way the probability of the first person to have an ingrown toenail is given by:

= A + (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A + (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × (1 - A) × A.

= $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} .$

= $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3}) ^{2} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{3} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{4} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{5} \frac{1}{3} + (\frac{2}{3})^{6} \frac{1}{3}.$

= 0.94147

We can also solve the above expression by using the geometric progression formula as well where common ratio is given by $\dfrac{2}{3}$ .

posledela

Selection D is the equivalent form of the given expression.

_____
The nominal annual interest rate in this problem is 40%. If it were compounded half-yearly, the formula would be x(1.2)^(2t) or x(1.44)^t. Apparently, this problem is more concerned with the equivalent form of the expression than it is with half-yearly compounding.
