33 ÷ 3
----------- = 11 / 12.
36 ÷ 3
It's simplest form is 11 / 12.
6x-21>3
Add 21 to both sides
6x>24
Divide 6 on both sides
X>4
14x+11>-17
Subtract 11 from both sides
14x>-28
Divide 14 on both sides
X<-2
7a + 6c + 9a - 15c
-- Look for all the 'a's 7a, 9a
-- Addum up 16a
-- Look for all the 'c's 6c, -15c
-- Addum up -9c
-- Write the results 16a - 9c
Solution: Z= -9
Reasoning: -6 - 3 = -9
Since f(x) is (strictly) increasing, we know that it is one-to-one and has an inverse f^(-1)(x). Then we can apply the inverse function theorem. Suppose f(a) = b and a = f^(-1)(b). By definition of inverse function, we have
f^(-1)(f(x)) = x
Differentiating with the chain rule gives
(f^(-1))'(f(x)) f'(x) = 1
so that
(f^(-1))'(f(x)) = 1/f'(x)
Let x = a; then
(f^(-1))'(f(a)) = 1/f'(a)
(f^(-1))'(b) = 1/f'(a)
In particular, we take a = 2 and b = 7; then
(f^(-1))'(7) = 1/f'(2) = 1/5
