Given f(x) 3x-1/2 solve for f^-1(4)

1 answer:

5 0

First off, just to remind you, to get the "inverse relation" of any expression, you first do a quick switcharoo on the variables, and then solve for "y", or whatever the dependent is. So let's do so.

$\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=3x-\cfrac{1}{2}\qquad inverse\implies \boxed{x}=3\boxed{y}-\cfrac{1}{2}
\\\\\\
x+\cfrac{1}{2}=3y\implies \cfrac{x+\frac{1}{2}}{3}=y\implies \cfrac{x+\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3}{1}}=y\implies \left( x+\cfrac{1}{2} \right)\cfrac{1}{3}=y
\\\\\\
\cfrac{x}{3}+\cfrac{1}{6}=y\impliedby f^{-1}(x)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\\cfrac{(4)}{3}+\cfrac{1}{6}=f^{-1}(4)\implies \cfrac{8+1}{6}=f^{-1}(4)\implies \cfrac{9}{6}=f^{-1}(4)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3}{2}=f^{-1}(4)$

Examine the following graph, where the function P(x) is mapped to I(x) by a translation.

Murrr4er [49]

f(x) = p(x) + 4 shows the correct transformation.

<h3>Define transformations.</h3>

A point, line, or geometric figure can be transformed in one of four ways, each of which affects the shape and/or location of the object. Pre-Image refers to the object's initial shape, and Image, after transformation, refers to the object's ultimate shape and location. The most typical varieties are listed below: When a figure is translated, it is moved in any direction. Flipping a figure over a line is called reflection. Rotation is the process of turning a figure a specific amount around a point.

Prove that if a and b are positive integers whose sum is a prime p, their greatest common divisor is 1.

Tasya [4]

Proof by contadiction.

Let assume there exist such positive integers $a$ and $b$ whose sum is a prime number $p$ , that their greatest common divisor is greater than 1.

$a,b\in\mathbb{Z^+}\\d=\text{gcd}(a,b)>1\\\\a=de\\b=df\\e,f\in\mathbb{Z^+}\\\\a+b=p\\de+df=p\\d(e+f)=p\\$

Since $p$ is a prime number and $d>1$ , then $d=p \wedge e+f=1$ , but we assumed earlier that $e,f\in\mathbb{Z^+}$ , and there are no two positive integers that sum up to 1.
