Fun fact
if f(a)=b then f⁻¹(b)=a
so
if f⁻¹(b)=a then f(a)=b
so we find f(x)=27 and the solve for x
f(x)=3x=27
3x=27
divide both sides by 3
x=9
so if f(9)=27 then f⁻¹(27)=9
problem solved
answer is 9
It will quarter the result. (I think so)
Thats an exponential function The variable x is an exponent so that is why its called exponential.
If p then q. P, therefore q.
Note that h(x) = 4x^2 - 8x - 60 factors to 4(x^2 - 2x - 15), and that the roots (zeros) of (x^2 - 2x - 15) are -5 and +3. Thus, the smallest zero is -5.
