What is the inverse function of f(x)=2x-1

Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2x - 1

f^-1 (x) = ?

Now

Let y = f(x)

or y = 2x - 1

Interchanging the role of x and y

x = 2y - 1

x + 1 = 2y

y = x + 1

Therefore f^-1(x) = x + 1

Hope it will help you :)

Kristen invests $5,745 in a bank. The bank pays 6.5% interest compounded monthly. How long must she leave the money in the bank

s344n2d4d5 [400]

formula is $A=P(1-\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where A=final amount

P=principal

r=interest rate in decimal

n=number of times per year it is compounded

t=time in years

we want to find where

A=2P

and P=5745

and r=6.5%=0.065

n=monthly=12

remember that $ln(x^a)=a(ln(x))$

also that $(a^b)^c=a^{bc}$

$2(5745)=5745(1+\frac{0.065}{12})^{12t}$ , solving for t

divide both sides by 5745 to simplify things a bit

$2=(1+\frac{0.065}{12})^{12t}$ I'd rather not simplify this because it give us a decimals and those aren't exact, if we combine, we get 12.065/12 for inside parenthases

$2=(\frac{12.065}{12})^{12t}$

take ln of both sides

$ln(2)=ln((\frac{12.065}{12})^{12t})$

$ln(2)=(12t)ln(\frac{12.065}{12})$

divide both sides by $12ln(\frac{12.065}{12})$

$\frac{ln(2)}{12ln(\frac{12.065}{12})}=t$

using our calculator, t≈10.6927

so rounded, we get 10.7 years

Sarah rolls a die twice. What is the probability that she rolls a 3 and then an even number?

vekshin1

Answer:

A) 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of rolling a die is { 1,2,3,4,5,6}

P (getting 3)= The number of "3"'s in the sample space over the number of items in the sample space

P (getting a 3} = 1/6

P (getting even)= The number of evens in the sample space over the number of items in the sample space

P (getting an even} = 3/6= 1/2

Since these are independent events, we multiply the probabilities

P(3, even) = 1/6 * 1/2 = 1/12

F(x) = lnx/x

My name is Ann [436]

$f(x) = \frac{lnx}{x}$

(a) $f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[\frac{lnx}{x}]$
Using the quotient rule:
$f'(x) = \frac{\frac{1}{x} \cdot x - lnx}{x^{2}}$
$f'(x) = \frac{1 - lnx}{x^{2}}$

For maximum, f'(x) = 0;
$\frac{1 - lnx}{x} = 0$
$lnx = 1, x = e$

(b) Deduce:
 $e^{x} \geq x^{e}, x > 0$

Soln: Since x = e is the greatest value, then f(e) ≥ f(x) > f(0)
$\frac{ln(e)}{e} \geq \frac{lnx}{x}$
$\frac{1}{e} \geq \frac{lnx}{x}$ , since ln(e) is simply equal to 1

Now, since x > 0, then we don't have to worry about flipping the signs when multiplying by x.
$\frac{x}{e} \geq lnx$
$x \geq elnx$
$x \geq ln(x^{e})$

Taking the exponential to both sides will cancel with the natural logarithmic function in the right hand side to produce:
$e^{x} \geq e^{ln(x^{e}})$
$e^{x} \geq x^{e}$ , as required.
