The answer is:  " f ⁻¹(x)  = \frac{x}{2}  + 5 " . 
____________________________________________________

Explanation:

____________________________________________________

Given the function:  " f(x) = 2x <span>− 10 " ;  Find the "inverse function" .

Let "f(x)" be represented by "y" ; and rewrite:

    y = 2x </span><span>− 10 ; 

Change the "y" to an "x" ;  and change to "x" to a "y" ; as follows:
___________________________________________________
    x = 2y </span><span>− 10 ; 

Now, rewrite this equation, in "slope-intercept form";  that is;  "y = mx + b" ; 

To do this, start by solving THIS equation for "y"; in terms of "x" ; with "y" as an "isolated variable" on the "left-hand side" of the equation; 
___________________________________________________
 We have: 
___________________________________________________
   " x = 2y </span><span>− 10 " ; 

Add "10" to each side of the equation; as follows:

    x + 10 = 2y </span><span>− 10 + 10 ; 

to get:

     x + 10 = 2y ; 

</span>↔  2y = x + 10 ;
<span>
Now, divide each side of the equation by "2" ; 
       to isolate "y" on one side of the equation (as a single variable); 
       & to solve for "y" ; 

</span>→  2y / 2 = (x + 10) / 2 ; 
<span>
to get: 

</span>→    y = (x/2)  + (10/2) ; 

→    y = (x/2) + 5 ; 
<span>
Now, rewrite the equation, by substituting:  " f </span>⁻¹(x) " ;  in place of the "y" ;                     to indicate that this function is an "inverse function; as follows:
 
→   " f ⁻¹(x)  = \frac{x}{2}  + 5 " . 
______________________________________________________

The answer is:  " f ⁻¹(x)  = \frac{x}{2}  + 5 " .

Question 2 (1 point)
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: 24 hours - no; because depending on where you are on Earth, you have a  different amount of sunlight.

Step-by-step explanation:

The day-night cycle is a complete day or a complete rotation of the earth around its axis. This takes 24 hours which is why 24 hours is the length of a full day.

People around the world however, do not get the same amount of sunlight or darkness and this is because of where they are on Earth. Due to the way the planet is tilted on its axis, some areas see sunlight more than other in a period and others see more darkness.

If a baseball player get a hit in 31% of his at-bats, what is the probability that he will
solong [7]

Given:

A baseball player get a hit in 31% of his at-bats.

To find:

The probability that he will  get a hit 5 at-bats in a row.

Solution:

Since, a baseball player get a hit in 31% of his at-bats, therefore

Probability that he get a hit = \dfrac{31}{100}

                                           = 0.31

Now, the probability that he will  get a hit 5 at-bats in a row is

P=0.31\times 0.31\times 0.31\times 0.31\times 0.31

P=(0.31)^5

P=0.0028629151&#10;

Therefore, the required probability is (0.31)^5 and it can be written as 0.0028629151 .
