I NEED HELP WITH QUESTION PLEASE!! What is the inverse of f(x) (x) = (x-4)² for x ≥ 4?

Answer:

4th choice \bold{f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} + 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Definition of the inverse of a function</u>

A function g is the inverse of a function f if whenever y=f(x) then x=g(y). In other words, applying f and then g is the same thing as doing nothing. We can write this in terms of the composition of f and g as g(f(x))=x. The domain of f becomes the range of g and the range of f becomes the domain of g

To solve for the inverse of the function f(x) =\left(x-4\right)^2

Let y=\left(x-4\right)^2

\mathrm{Replace}\:x\:\mathrm{with}\:y \text{ and replace }\:y\:\mathrm{with}\:x

x=\left(y-4\right)^2

Switch sides
\left(y-4\right)^2=x

Take square roots on both sides
y-4=\pm\sqrt{x}

Add 4 on both sides to solve for y

y = \pm\sqrt{x} + 4

We have two solutions

y=\sqrt{x}+4,\:y=-\sqrt{x}+4

To determine which one of these to be chosen not that in the given choices we can eliminate the first two since x cannot be negative

The third choice can also be eliminated since
-\sqrt{x} + 4 is a decreasing function for x \ge 0

So the last answer choice is correct and the inverse off(x) = (x-4)^2

is given by  f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} + 4

Answer:4th choice \bold{f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} + 4}

Note

Domain of  (x-4)² is [4, ∞) since x ≥ 4 and (x-4)²  cannot be negative

Range of (x-4)²  is [0,  ∞)

Domain of \sqrt{x}\:+\:4 is [0, ∞)

Range of \sqrt{x}\:+\:4 is [4, ∞)

so indeed the domain of (x-4)² has become the range of \sqrt{x}\:+\:4 and the range of (x-4)² has become the domain of \sqrt{x}\:+\:4

(3.8 x 10 ^ -6) x (2.37 x 10 ^ -3)<br><br> Enter the answer in science notification
Black_prince [1.1K]

Multiply the coefficients and the powers of 10 with each other:

(3.8 \times 10^{-6}) \times (2.37 \times 10^{-3}) = (3.8\times2.37) \times (10^{-6} \times10^{-3})

The numeric part simply yields

3.8\times2.37 = 9.006

As for the powers of 10, you have to add the exponents, using the rule

a^b \times a^c = a^{b+c}

So, we have

10^{-6} \times10^{-3} = 10^{-6-3} = 10^{-9}

So, the final answer is

9.006\times 10^{-9}
