Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

swap y and x in the function. that is

$x = f(y)$

we get x=4y+5

Solve for y

(x-5)/4=y

$f ^{ - 1}(x) = \frac{1}{4} (x - 5)$

wolverine [178]

Answer:

The answer is 8 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying the correct equations to Todd and Seth's balances for each day we end up with Todd and Seth having an equal balance in their accounts by day 8, alternatively, we can show that Todd and Seth have the same amount of money in their accounts by day 8 with this table

Day - Todd - Seth

1 - 95 - 130

2 - 90 - 120

3 - 85 - 110

4 - 80 - 100

5 - 75 - 90

6 - 70 - 80

7 - 65 - 70

Complete the table of values

Agata [3.3K]

Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify!

You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1) The negative exponent rule says that when a base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example, $3^{-2} =
\frac{1}{3^{2} }$ .
2) Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example, $(\frac{3}{4}) ^{3} = \frac{ 3^{3} }{4^{3} }$ .
3) The zero exponent rule says that any number raised to zero is 1. For example, $3^{0} = 1$ .


Back to the Problem:
Problem 1
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is $y = 4^{-x}$ . The x-values are:
1) x = 0
Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter a:
$y = 4^{-x}\\
y = 4^{-0}\\
y = 4^{0}\\
y = 1$

2) x = 2
Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter b:
$y = 4^{-x}\\ 
y = 4^{-2}\\ 
y = \frac{1}{4^{2}} \\ 
y= \frac{1}{16}$

3) x = 4
Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter c:
$y = 4^{-x}\\ 
y = 4^{-4}\\ 
y = \frac{1}{4^{4}} \\ 
y= \frac{1}{256}$


Problem 2
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ . The x-values are:
1) x = 0
Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter d:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\
y = (\frac{2}{3})^0\\
y = 1$

2) x = 2
Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter e:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\ y = (\frac{2}{3})^2\\ y = \frac{2^2}{3^2}\\
y = \frac{4}{9}$

3) x = 4
Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter f:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\ y = (\frac{2}{3})^4\\ y = \frac{2^4}{3^4}\\ y = \frac{16}{81}$

-------

Answers:
a = 1
b = $\frac{1}{16}$ 
c = $\frac{1}{256}$
d = 1
e = $\frac{4}{9}$
f = $\frac{16}{81}$

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two legs that have the same length. The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the triangle. Now taking this into account, we know that:

2L + B = 14 units

Where:

L is the measure of one leg

B is the measure of the base

Since two legs are the same and the base is 1 less, this means the measure of each leg would be:

B = L -1

Now we have two equations:

2L + B = 14 units

B = L- 1

We plug one equation into the other and make 1 equation:

2L + (L-1) = 14 units

Get rid of the parentheses:

2L + L - 1 = 14

Combine like terms:

3L - 1 = 14

Add 1 to both sides of the equation:

3L - 1 + 1 = 14 + 1

3L = 15

Divide both sides by 3:

3L/3 = 15/3

L = 5

So the length of a leg is 5 units

Let's check!

B = L - 1

B = 5 - 1

B = 4

Then we use that to solve for the perimeter:

2L + B

2(5) + 4

10 + 4 = 14
