Inverse notation f^-1 used In a pure mathematics problem is not always used when finding inverses of applied problems. Rather, t

he Inverse of a function such as C= C(q) will be q= q(C). The following problem illustrates this idea.
The ideal body weight W for men (in kilograms) as a function of height h (m inches) is given by the following function.

W(h)= 49+2.2(h-60)

Required:
a. What is the ideal weight of a 6-foot male?
b. Express the height h as a function of weight W. Verify your answer by checking that W(h(W)) = W and h(W(h))h.

Answer:

a) 75.4 kg

b) h(W)=\frac{W+83}{2.2}

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The ideal weight of a 6-foot (72 inches) male is given by simply applying h= 72 in to the expression:

W(72) = 49+2.2(72-60)\\W(72) =75.4\ kg

b) Expressing height as a function of weight:

W(h)= 49+2.2(h-60)\\2.2h-132+49=W\\h(W)=\frac{W+83}{2.2}

Verifying with W(h(W)):

W(h(W))= 49+2.2(\frac{W+83}{2.2} -60)\\W(h(W))= 49-132+W+83\\W(h(W))=W

Verifying with h(W(h):

h(W(h))=\frac{(49+2.2(h-60))+83}{2.2}\\h(W(h))=\frac{(49+2.2h-132+83)}{2.2}\\h(W(h))=h

All questions are about this system of equations:
sertanlavr [38]
If we are eliminating x, we would multiply the 2nd equation by -5

5x + 18y = 23
x + 3y = 2....multiply by -5
-----------------
5x + 18y = 23
-5x - 15y = - 10 (result of multiplying by -5)
----------------add
0 + 3y = 13.....bye-bye x :)

Karra is at the dollar store buying bags of chips for her sleepover party. For every 5 bags of chips she buys, she pays $6. What
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

$1.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Price paid to buy 5 bags of chips = $6

To find:

Price per bag of chips in two digits after the decimal.

Solution:

To find the price of each bag of chips, we need to divide the price of 5 bags of chips with 5.

i.e. we need to divide $6 with 5, then we will get the price of each bag of chips.

\text{Price of each bag of chips}=\dfrac{\text{Price of 5 bags of chips}}{5}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\$6}{5} = \bold{\$1.2}

Therefore, the answer is:

Price of each bag of chips is <em>$1.2.</em>

A cube is shown.<br><br> What is the surface area of the cube?
valkas [14]

1350 cm^2.  First, we must find the area of one side.  The formula for the area of a square is S^2 or S*S, so plugging in the value of the side we get 15*15=225.  So each side of the cube is 225 cm^2, so since there are 6 sides, we just multiply by 6 (225*6=1350).
