Answer:
x=64
y=54
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+4y=24 4(24-4y\3)+3y=22
x=24-4y/3 96-12y\3+3y=22
x=24-4(54)/3
x=-64 96/3-22=3y/3
y=54
Answer:
he has 48 dollars left to spend on clothes
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 and 4 are 6 away
4 and 13 are 9 away
Thus it is 6/9 or 2/3
I'm guessing you're given the function
, and you're asked to find the inverse function
. To do this, swap
and
, then solve for
:
![x=2-y^3\implies y^3=2-x\implies y=(2-x)^{1/3}=\sqrt[3]{2-x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D2-y%5E3%5Cimplies%20y%5E3%3D2-x%5Cimplies%20y%3D%282-x%29%5E%7B1%2F3%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B2-x%7D)
so that the inverse function is
![y^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3]{2-x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%5E%7B-1%7D%28x%29%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B2-x%7D)
Just to verify:
![y(y^{-1}(x))=y(\sqrt[3]{2-x})=2-(\sqrt[3]{2-x})^3=2-(2-x)=x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%28y%5E%7B-1%7D%28x%29%29%3Dy%28%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B2-x%7D%29%3D2-%28%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B2-x%7D%29%5E3%3D2-%282-x%29%3Dx)
![y^{-1}(y(x))=y^{-1}(2-x^3)=\sqrt[3]{2-(2-x^3)}=\sqrt[3]{x^3}=x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%5E%7B-1%7D%28y%28x%29%29%3Dy%5E%7B-1%7D%282-x%5E3%29%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B2-%282-x%5E3%29%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%5E3%7D%3Dx)
But in case you're actually only interested in computing the square root, first we note that
(the real-valued square root) is only defined as long as
. So
is defined as long as
, or
, or equivalently
. Under this condition, we could write

We can simplify this further, but we have to be careful. Suppose
. Then
. But we get the same result if
, since
. There are two possible values of
that given the same value of
, so to capture both of them, we take
, the absolute value of
. Then

We can't simplify the square root term further than this.
