What is the inverse of x-2

Mathematics
1 answer:
SCORPION-xisa [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

y = x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression x-2 is from the equation y = x - 2.

To find the inverse of the equation, <u>switch the "x" and "y" variables</u>, then solve  or <u>isolate for "y"</u>, meaning to separate it from the other numbers.

y = x - 2     Original equation

x = y - 2     Switched "x" and "y" variables

x + 2 = y - 2 + 2     Add 2 to both sides to cancel out '-2' on the side with "y"

x + 2 = y    

y = x + 2     Variable is on left side in standard formatting

To isolate, do the reverse operation for the number you want to get rid of.

On the side with "y", I wanted to get rid of '-2' so I could separate "y" from everything else. '+2' is the reverse operation for '-2'.

sutopa has 3/4 the money maneet has. maneet has $18 less than Kim. together, they have $286.40. How much money does each of them
timurjin [86]

The amount of money Kim, maneet and Sutopa have is $115.6, $97.6 and $73.2 respectively.

<h3>Equation</h3>

  • Kim = x
  • Maneet = x - 18
  • Sutopa = 3/4(x-18)
  • Total = $286.40

x + (x - 18) + 3/4(x-18) = 286.40

x + x - 18 + 3/4x - 13.5 = 286.40

2 3/4x = 286.40 + 13.5 + 18

11/4x = 317.9

x = 317.9 ÷ 11/4

= 317.9 × 4 / 11

= 1,271.6 / 11

x = $115.6

So,

Kim = x

= $115.6

Maneet = x - 18

= 115.6 -18

= $97.6

Sutopa = 3/4(x-18)

= 3/4(97.6)

= $73.2

2x-2=2(2x-11) solve for x
Mkey [24]

Instead of distributing 2, we can actually divide both sides by 2:

x - 1 = 2x - 11

Isolate x:

x = 10

Which equation represents a circle that contains the point (-5, -3) and has a center at (-2, 1)?
Evgen [1.6K]

The equation (x + 2)² + (y - 1)² = 25 represents a circle that contain the point (-5 , -3) and has a center at (-2 , 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle of center (h , k) and radius r is:

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

The given is:

  • The center of the circle is (-2 , 1)
  • The circle passes through point (-5 , -3)

The length of the radius is the distance from the center of the circle

to a point on the circle

∵ The formula of the distance is d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}

∵ The center of the circle is (-2 , 1)

∵ The circle passes through point (-5 , -3)

∴ r=\sqrt{[(-5)-(-2)]^{2}+[(-3)-(1)]^{2}}

∴ r=\sqrt{[-3]^{2}+[-4]^{2}}

∴ r=\sqrt{9+16}

∴ r=\sqrt{25}

∴ r = 5

∵ The equation of the circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

∵ The center of the circle is (-2 , 1)

∴ h = -2 and k = 1

∵ r = 5

∴ r² = (5)² = 25

- Substitute the values of h , k , r² in the equation of the circle

∴ (x - -2)² + (y - 1)² = 25

∴ (x + 2)² + (y - 1)² = 25

The equation (x + 2)² + (y - 1)² = 25 represents a circle that contains

the point (-5 , -3) and has a center at (-2 , 1)
