Answer:
2nd option is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
3 times a number decreased by 6 is - 2
Remark
It's a right triangle so the Pythagorean Theorem applies. All you have to do is put the right things in the right places of the formula.
Givens
a = x
b = x + 4
c = 20
Formula and Substitution.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + (x + 4)^2 = 20^2
Solution
x^2 + x^2 + 8x + 16 = 20 Collect the like terms on the left.
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = 20 Subtract 20 from both sides.
2x^2 + 8x + 16 - 20 = 0
2x^2 + 8x - 4 = 0 Divide through by 2
x^2 + 4x - 2 = 0
Use the quadratic formula
a = 1
b = 4
c = - 2

From which x = (-4 +/- sqrt(24) ) / 2
x1 = (- 4 +/- sqrt(4*6) ) / 2
x1 = (- 4 +/- 2 sqrt(6) ) / 2
x1 = -2 + sqrt(6)
x2 = -2 - sqrt(6) This is an extraneous root. No line can be minus.
x1 = + 0.4495
x2 = x + 4 = 4.4495
Answer:
32. ∛((x-7)/4) = f^(-1)(x)
33. -10x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
32. We want to switch f(x) and x, and then solve for f(x) to get the inverse.
x = 4f(x)³ + 7
subtract 7 from both sides
x -7 = 4f(x)³
divide both sides by 4
(x-7)/4 = f(x)³
cube root both sides
∛((x-7)/4) = f(x)
make f(x) f^(-1)(x) because this is now the inverse
∛((x-7)/4) = f^(-1)(x)
the second answer is correct
33. for composition, we can treat (f · g) (x) as attached picture (content filter!), so we plug g(x) into f(x). This results in
2(-5x-7) + 5
expand
-10x - 14 + 5
add
-10x - 9
the second answer is correct
