Please help. I don't understand where to start with this one. If the slope of a strictly decreasing function at the point (a, b)

is –4, what is the slope of the inverse of the function at the point (b, a)?
a. -1/4
b. –4
c. –1
d. The slope cannot be determined without knowing the equation of the function.

Answer:

a.-\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Slope of strictly decreasing function at the point (a,b) is -4.

We have to find the slope of the inverse of the function at the point (b,a).

Suppose , we have a function

y=f(x)=-4x+2

Slope of function f(x) at (x,y)=-4

-4x=y-2

x=-\frac{1}{4}(y-2)

Replace x by y and y by x.

y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)

Now, substitute y=f^{-1}(x)

g(x)=f^{-1}(x)=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)

Differentiate w.r.t x

g'(x)=\frac{-1}{4}  Using rule (\frac{dx^n}{dx}=nx^{n-1})

Slope of inverse of function f(x) at (y,x)=-\frac{1}{4}

Hence, the slope of inverse of the function at the point (b,a)is -\frac{1}{4}.

Option a is true.

Just assume the equation is y=-4x
to find the inverse you switch x and y so your equation becomes x=-4y, and then solve for y and you get, y=(-1/4)x so the slope is A)-1/4

Sunset, inc., has a book value of equity of $14,865. long-term debt is $8,675. net working capital, other than cash, is $2,315.
juin [17]
Balance sheet equation states that:

Assets, A = Liabilities, L + Equity, E => A=L+E

In the current case,
L = Long term debt + Current liabilities = $8,675+$1,865 = $10,540
E = $14,865

Therefore,
A = 14,865 +10,540 = $25,405

Now,
Current assets (excluding cash) = current liabilities+Net working capital, other than cash = $1,865+$2,315 = $4,180

Additionally,
A = Fixed assets+Current assets (excluding cash) + Cash

Therefore,
Cash = 25,405-20,660-4,180 =  $565

Which transformations could have been used to create A'B'C'? Choose all that apply.
Eduardwww [97]

The correct transformation is a rotation of 180° around the origin followed by a translation of 3 units up and 1 unit to the left.

<h3>Which transformation is used to get A'B'C'?</h3>

To analyze this we can only follow one of the vertices of the triangle.

Let's follow A.

A starts at (3, 4). If we apply a rotation of 180° about the origin, we end up in the third quadrant in the coordinates:

(-3, -4)

Now if you look at A', you can see that the coordinates are:

A' = (-4, -1)

To go from (-3, -4) to (-4, -1), we move one unit to the left and 3 units up.

Then the complete transformation is:

A rotation of 180° around the origin, followed by a translation of 3 units up and 1 unit to the left.

List the following parabolas from widest to narrowest (would like a fast answer)
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The greater the magnitude of the leading coefficient, the narrower the parabola.

Widest: f(x) = 0.5x²

Next: f(x) = -x²

Next: f(x) = 2x²

Narrowest: 3x²
