Fia needs 3/4 cups of brown sugar.

Now she has two types of measuring cups 1/3 measuring cup and 1/8 measuring cup.

Now let us divide 3/4 by each and see which one gives us more accurate answer.

With 1/3 measuring cup

Dividing 3/4 by 1/3, multiplying reciprocal of 1/3 that is 3/1 with 3/4

\frac{3}{4}  * \frac{3}{1}

=\frac{9}{4}

With 1/8 measuring cup

Dividing 3/4 by 1/8, multiplying reciprocal of 1/8 that is 8/1 with 3/4

\frac{3}{4}  * \frac{8}{1}

=6

Now here we can see that its easier to measure 6 full cups than fraction 9/4 cups.

So we can say that its better to use 1/8 measuring cup.

Find the inverse of the given function.
kodGreya [7K]

For this case we must find the inverse of the following function:

f (x) = - \frac {1} {2} \sqrt {x + 3}

We follow the steps below:

Replace f(x) with y:

y = -\frac {1} {2} \sqrt {x + 3}

We exchange the variables:

x = - \frac {1} {2} \sqrt {y + 3}

We solve for "y":

- \frac {1} {2} \sqrt {y + 3} = x

Multiply by -2 on both sides of the equation:

\sqrt {y + 3} = - 2x

We raise both sides of the equation to the square to eliminate the radical:

(\sqrt {y + 3}) ^ 2 = (- 2x) ^ 2\\y + 3 = 4x ^ 2

We subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:

y = 4x ^ 2-3

We change y by f ^ {- 1} (x):

f ^ {- 1} (x) = 4x ^ 2-3

Answer:f ^ {- 1} (x) = 4x ^ 2-3

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Rate of Change </em>is the same as <em>Slope</em><em>.</em><em> </em>According to the Slope-Intercept Formula, <em>y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>mx</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>m</em><em> </em>is the <em>Rate</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em> </em><em>Change</em><em> </em>[<em>Slope</em>].
