Let M be the age of Maggie and B the age of her younger Brother:

Rewrite the problem from English language to Math's:
 B = 2.M - 10 (1)
and  M + B = 29 (Given) OR    B  =  29 -M (2)
Plug 2) into 1):

29 -M = 2.M -10
 29 + 10 = 3 M →→3M = 39 and M = 39/3 = 13
Replace M by 13 and you will find B =6

Then Maggie = 13 year old and her brother B = 6 year old

Determine f^-1(2) given the following: f(1 = -3f(2) = -2f(-1) = 2f(3) = -1
lana [24]

We assume that the function is as follows:

f^{-1_{}}(2)=?

Then, we have that:

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{f(x)}

Thus, if we have that:

f(2)=-2\Rightarrow f^{-1^{}_{}}(x)=\frac{1}{f(x)}\Rightarrow f^{-1}(2)=\frac{1}{f(2)}=\frac{1}{-2}\Rightarrow f^{-1}(2)=-\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the value for the function is f^-1(2) = -1/2 or

f^{-1}(2)=-\frac{1}{2}
