Answer:

d = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference d of an arithmetic sequence is

d = a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ = $a_{n}$ - $a_{n-1}$

Given

$a_{n}$ = 5n - 3

Generate the first 2 terms of the sequence by substituting n = 1, n = 2

a₁ = 5(1) - 3 = 5 - 3 = 2

a₂ = 5(2) - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7

d = 7 - 2 = 5

If F(x) = 7x - 6, which of the following is the inverse of F(x)?

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

$f^{-1} (x)=\frac{x+6}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of a function, we must substitute in y for f(x), swap the locations of y and x, and then solve for y

$y=7x-6\\\\x=7y-6\\\\x+6=7y\\\\y=\frac{x+6}{7} \\\\f^{-1} (x)=\frac{x+6}{7}$
