F(x) = 1/x is a special function. is called the multiplicative inverse or the reciprocal function. the specific shape of the graph is called a rectangular hyperbola.

negative values of x with produce negative values of f(x) and positive values will produce positive function values. so this hyperbola is symmetric with respect to the origin and all negative values are in Q3 and all positive values are in Q1.

as x gets farther and farther from 0 in either direction, you can see that 1/x will be an ever-increasingly smaller distance from the x-axis. indeed, the limit of this function is zero as x approaches either positive or negative infinity.

if x is between -1 and 1, then the value of f(x) increases until x = 0, the limit of the function as x approaches 0 being positive and negative infinity depending on which direction you are coming from.

the domain is all real numbers with the exception of 0

the range also happens to be all real numbers with the exception of zero. all that really means is that zero has no multiplicative inverse.

strictly speaking, this is an exponential function, as the function is f(x) = x^(-1).

I have 4 times as much money as my brother has. our total is $55.how much does each of us have?
babymother [125]

Answer:

You have 44$, your brother has 11$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of money your brother has.

Since you have four times the amount of money your brother has, we can call the amount of money you have 4x.

x+4x=55,\\5x=55,\\x=\boxed{\$11}

Thus, you have:

4(11)=\boxed{\$44}

Find the missing term (need help)
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

x² - 10x + 34

Step-by-step explanation:

given the roots are x = 5 ± 3i then the factors are

(x - (5 + 3i))(x - (5 - 3i))

= (x - 5)² - 9i² ← expand (x - 5)²

= x² - 10 x + 25 + 9 → [ i² = - 1 ]

= x² - 10x + 34

the missing term is 10x

what is the final amount of 17.50 that is put into a saving account with 4 annual interest rate compounded yearly for 25 years?
pickupchik [31]
To find the total amount, you will use the formula for finding compounded interest.  This means you will be paid interest on top of the interest you have earned each year.

A = P(1 + r)^nt
P stands for the principal.
r is the interest rate when compounded annually
nt is the number of years

A = 17.50(1 + 0.04)^25
A = $46.65

This person would have $46.65 after 25 years.

Manny bought a brand new car for $29,750. The car depreciates in value by 12% each year. Find the value of the car after 6 years
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: $13,846.02

Step-by-step explanation:

The car cost $29,750 when it was first bought.

It will then depreciate at a rate of 12% per year. This means that the value of the car reduces by 12% per year.

To find the value of the car in the 6th year, you can use the compound interest formula:

= Value of car * ( 1 - rate) ^ no. of years

= 29,750 * ( 1 - 12%)⁶

= ‭13,816.021581824‬

= $13,846.02
