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'.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Number of term N = 9

Value of Sum = 0.186

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Number of term N = 3 (0.5)^{5} + 3 (0.5)^{6} + 3 (0.5)^{7} + \cdots + 3 (0.5)^{13}

Number of term N = 3 (0.5)^{5} + 3 (0.5)^{6} + 3 (0.5)^{7} +3 (0.5)^{8}+3 (0.5)^{9} +3 (0.5)^{10} +3 (0.5)^{11}+3 (0.5)^{12}+ 3 (0.5)^{13}

Number of term N = 9

The Value of the sum can be determined by using the expression for geometric series:

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{a(r^m-r^{n+1})}{1-r}

here;

m = 5

n = 9

r = 0.5

Then:

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{3(0.5^5-0.5^{9+1})}{1-0.5}

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{3(0.03125-0.5^{10})}{0.5}

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{(0.09375-9.765625*10^{-4})}{0.5}

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =0.186
