Answer:

12.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that line CD is a perpendicular bisector, triangle ACD is a right triangle, and thus we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to determine the length of side CD. Since the Pythagorean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the adjacent sides, we can plug in the values of side AD and AC.

As side CD is the bisector of side AB, sides AD and DB are both half the length of side AB, so:
AD = 11/2
AD = 5.5

We now know two values of our equation, and thus we can solve for the missing third value.

5.5^2 + b^2 = 14^2
14^2 - 5.5^2 = b^2
196 - 30.25 = b^2
165.75 = b^2
\sqrt{165.75} = b
b = 12.87

State whether f is a function
Alenkinab [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

y=\pm (\frac{x}{6})^{\frac{1}{4}} \ is \ not \ a \ function

<h2>Step by step solution:</h2>

A function f from a set A to a set B is a relation that assigns to each element x in the set A exactly one element y in the set B. The set A is the domain (also called the set of inputs) of the function and the set B contains the range (also called the set of outputs). On the other hand, a function has an inverse function if and only if passes the Horizontal Line Test for Inverse Functions. This test tells us that a function f has an inverse function if and only if there is no any horizontal line that intersects the graph of f at more than one point. So the function is called one-to-one. The graph of f is shown below. As you can see, this function does not pass the Horizontal Line Test, therefore the inverse is not a function. However, let's find f^-{1}(x):

f(x)=6x^4 \\ \\ Substitute \ f(x) \ by \ y \\ \\ y=6x^4 \\ \\ Interchange \ x \ and \ y: \\ \\ x=6y^4 \\ \\ Solve \ for \ y: \\ \\ y^4=\frac{x}{6} \\ \\ Solving \\ \\y=\pm \sqrt[4]{\frac{x}{6}} \\ \\ \boxed{y=\pm \left(\frac{x}{6}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}}}

and this is not a function because there are elements in the set of inputs that match with two elements in the set of outputs.
