Answer:
(a) h(x) = 1/2x -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The inverse of the function y = f(x) is found by solving x = f(y).
__
<h3>setup</h3>
x = f(y)
x = 2y +1 . . . . . . use the definition of f(x)
<h3>solution</h3>
x -1 = 2y . . . . . subtract 1
(x -1)/2 = y . . . . divide by 2
y = 1/2x -1/2 . . . . eliminate parentheses
h(x) = 1/2x -1/2 . . . write in functional form
The inverse of f(x) = 2x+1 is ...
h(x) = 1/2x -1/2

Answer:
4. height: 5√3 cm; area: 25√3 cm²
5. 30√2 ft ≈ 42.43 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
4. The height of an equilateral triangle is (√3)/2 times the side length, so is ...
height = (√3)/2 × (10 cm) = 5√3 cm
The area is given by the formula ...
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2(10 cm)(5√3 cm) = 25√3 cm²

5. The diagonal of a square is √2 times the side length, so the distance from 3rd to 1st base is ...
(30 ft)√2 ≈ 42.43 ft
__
The length of the diagonal of a square is something you should be familiar with. If you're not, you can figure the distance using the Pythagorean theorem.
d = √(30² +30²) = √1800 ≈ 42.43 . . . feet
3 (4x + 6) = 21
4x + 6 = 21/3
4x + 6 = 7
4x = 7 - 6
4x = 1
x = 1/4
