To determine the inverse of a function, we first write the parent function in terms of y. So, in this part the x would be isolated to one side of the equation. Then, with the new form of the parent function, we switch the x into y and y to x. The new function would be the inverse function. For the given function, we do as follows:

 y=-4/x + 1
y - 1 = -4/x
x ( y - 1 ) = -4
x = -4 / (y -1)

Replacing x into y and y into x,

y = -4 / (x -1)

Therefore, the inverse is y=-a/x-b where a = 4 and b = 1.

For which of these functions does the function value change at a constant rate per unit change in x? Explain.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The function r(x) represents a constant rate per unit change in x.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because when you increase in 2, it goes from 37 to 25, a decrease in 12, then when the x goes from 2 to 3, then it has to drop down by 6, or else it won't be linear. It does. 25-6 is 19. Then it goes from 3 to 5, meaning it has an increase of 2 in x, meaning it has to drop down in 12 to be linear, It does. 19-12 is 7. So it is linear, meaning it has a constant rate per unit change in x.

Two complementary angles are in the ratio of 1:5. find the measure of the larger angle?

Luden [163]

First you set up an equation using a variable:
x + 5x = 90° (complementary angles = 90°)
6x = 90
x = 15 (also the measure of the smaller angle)

now plug in x to find the larger angle:
5(15) = 75°

Solve for X -5x=45 A 225 B 9 C -9 D 45

andriy [413]

X=-9

-x=9 so x=-9 since you inverse the sign
