They are inverses if f( (g(x)) = x
f((g(x)) = (1/2) (2x + 4) - 2 = x + 2 - 2 = x
so this proves that g(x) is the inverse of f(x)
the other inverse g((f(x)) should also be = x
The cube root of 343 is 7.
One side has an area of 7*7 = 49 square cm
There are 6 sides to a cube
6 * 49 is the surface area = 294
Well the 2 in 8.524 would be 0.02 or 2 hundredths. Here's my explanation, the 8 is the whole number because it's before the decimal point, the 5 is the tenth or 0.5 and as you go further the number gets smaller so after the 5 is the 2 and that would be 2 hundredths or 0.02. So basically it's like going from tens, to hundreds, to thousands but only going in reverse order.
Distribute ^4 to both 2 and q^5
2^4 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16
(q^5)^4 = q^20
16(q^20) = 16q^20
16q^20 is your answer
hope this helps
