Answer: The inverse of the linear function f(x)=2x+1 is f^(-1) (x) = (1/2)x-1/2


Solution

f(x)=2x+1

y=f(x)

y=2x+1

Isolating x: Subtracting 1 both sides of the equation:

y-1=2x+1-1

y-1=2x

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 1/2:

(1/2)(y-1)=(1/2)2x

(1/2)y-1/2=x

x=(1/2)y-1/2

Changing "x" by "f^(-1) (x)" and "y" by "x":

f^(-1) (x) = (1/2)x-1/2

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Blue balloons = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no of balloons = 21

Let us assume that the ratio of blue balloons to green balloons is 4:3.

Let there are 4x blue balloons and 3x green balloons.

ATQ,

4x+3x = 21

7x = 21

x = 3

Blue balloons = 4x

= 4(3)

= 12

Hence, she will have 12 blue balloons at her party.
