Find the inverse of f(x)= -x + 3

1 answer:

4 0

Let g the inverse function of f.

The most important property of g and f being inverses of each other, is that

g(f(x))=x, also f(g(x))=x

so, what one function 'does' to x, the other 'undoes' it.

Thus, we have:

f(g(x))=x and alos f(g(x))= -g(x)+3, from the rule

thus :

-g(x)+3=x

-g(x)=x-3

g(x)=-x+3

check: f(g(x))=f(-x+3)=-(-x+3)+3=x-3+3=x

Answer: the inverse of f is g, such that g(x)=-x+3

Find the perimeter of quadrilateral PQRS with the vertices P(2,4), Q(2,3), R(-2,-2), and S(-2,3).

storchak [24]

Answer:

$P=16.53\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of quadrilateral PQRS is equal to the sum of its four length sides

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

the vertices P(2,4), Q(2,3), R(-2,-2), and S(-2,3)

step 1

Find the distance PQ

P(2,4), Q(2,3)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(3-4)^{2}+(2-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-1)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{1}$

$dPQ=1\ unit$

step 2

Find the distance QR

Q(2,3), R(-2,-2)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-2-3)^{2}+(-2-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$dQR=\sqrt{41}\ units$

step 3

Find the distance RS

R(-2,-2), and S(-2,3)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(3+2)^{2}+(-2+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(5)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$dRS=5\ units$

step 4

Find the distance PS

P(2,4), S(-2,3)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(3-4)^{2}+(-2-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-1)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$dPS=\sqrt{17}\ units$

step 5

Find the perimeter

$P=PQ+QR+RS+PS$

substitute the values

$P=1+\sqrt{41}+5+\sqrt{17}$

$P=6+\sqrt{41}+\sqrt{17}$

$P=16.53\ units$

What was the population of south Australia closest to in 2003?

Brrunno [24]

It would be 1531600

How I did it
First I divided the percentage by 100. Example >> 0.6/100= 0.006
Then I took 2002 population >> 1522475 + 0.006 x 1522475 = 1531609.85

Given that log3(z - 1) - logz z = 1+ 3 log3 y, express z in terms of y.

fgiga [73]

Answer:

z = 1 + 9y³

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like you have ...

$\log_3{(z-1)}-\log_z{(z)}=1+3\log_3{(y)}\\\\\log_3{(z-1)}-1=1+\log_3{(y^3)}\\\\\log_3{(z-1)}=2+\log_3{(y^3)}\qquad\text{add 1}\\\\z-1=(3^2)(y^3)\qquad\text{take antilog}\\\\\boxed{z=1+9y^3}\qquad\text{add 1}$
