F(x) = 2x - 6

y = 2x - 6

Switching y and x and solving for y;

x = 2y - 6

2y = x + 6

y = \frac{x+6}{2}

Hence,

f^{-1} = \frac{x+6}{2}

Hi!

Okay, so -

We are going to replace f(x) with the variable y.

So, f(x) = 2x - 6 is now equal to y = 2x - 6.

Now, we are going to swap the variables. Where we once had x, we will now have y. And where we once had y, we will now have x.

So y = 2x - 6 is now equal to x = 2y - 6.

Now, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. We must do this by getting rid of the -6, and the 2 multiplied by the variable y.

We get rid of these values by doing the inverse of their operation. Since 6 is negative, we will add it to itself in order for it to cancel out. But, when we do something on one side of the equation - we must do it on the other.

So, we will add 6 on both sides.

x + 6 = 2y - 6 + 6.

x + 6 = 2y.

Okay, now - we cannot add x to 6, because they are unlike terms. So, what we do next <span>instead is divide both sides by 2. Remember, we're doing the inverse of the operation. The inverse of multiplication is division, so we will divide both sides by 2.

</span>\frac{x + 6}{2} = 2y / 2.

\frac{x + 6}{2} = y.

Now, we change the y into f^{-1}(x), and we have our inverse.

f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x + 6}{2}.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

the linear equation y=2x represents the cost y of x pounds of pears. which order pair lies on the graph of the equation? A. (2,4
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

  A.  (2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The ordered pairs represent (x, y). Since you have y =2x, this is the same as ...

  (x, 2x)

That is, the second number in the pair needs to be twice the first number in the pair. Since you know your times tables, you know that this is not the case for (1, 0), (10, 5) or (4, 12). Those values of x would give (1, 2), (10, 20), (4, 8).

It is the case that you have (x, 2x) for (2, 4).

The point (2, 4) lies on the graph of y = 2x.

A bag contains 6 red marbles, 4 blue marbles, 7 green marbles, and 3 yellow marbles. A marble is drawn from the bag and is not r
Alinara [238K]
20 total marbles....7 are green

probability on first draw is 7/20...and since the marble was not replaced, the probability on the second draw is 6/19. And since they cant happen at the same time, we multiply

7/20 * 6/19 = 42/380 which reduces to 21/190

a shipment of sugar fills 4 1/3 containers. if each container holds 2 1/7 tons of sugar, what is the amount of sugar in the enti
emmasim [6.3K]

To find the answer we need multiply the number of containers by number tons of sugar each container has.

(4 1/3 )*(2 1/7).

To calculate , we need to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions.

4 1/3 = (4*3 +1)/3 = 13/3

2 1/7 = (2*7+1)/7 =15/7

(4 1/3 )*(2 1/7) = (13/3) * (15/7) = (13*5)/7 = 65/7 = 9 2/7 (tons)

Answer: 9 2/7 tons.

Find the measure of the side of the right triangle whose length is designated by a lowercase letter. (see attachment)
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

a≈18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

     we have given:

an angle,

the adjacent side and

     we need to find:

the opposite side

     

we know that the definition of

tan of an angle = opp. side/ adj. side

              tan 61° = a/ 10

multiply both sides by 10

        10 * tan61° = a

   18.04047755 = a

                      18 ≈ a
