Let one of the numbers be x. The other number cab then be represented as 36-x (x+36-x = 36).
The product can then be represented as y = x(36-x) or y=36x-x2

The maximum or minimum is always on the axis of symmetry which has the formula x=-b/2a.
In our case, the axis of symmetry is -36/-2, so x=18.

If one number is 18 and the 2 numbers add to 36, the other number is 18 as well.
So the 2 numbers are 18 and 18 and the maximum product is 324,

Well us as kids are constantly on the computer and phones so google classroom is a great way to keep us connected with our teachers because we can communicate with them and they with us by posting assignments. Therefore we are less likely to forget what they told us in the classroom because it is just one click away.

Inverse for f(x)=1/2x+3
Semenov [28]

Answer: f^{-1}(x)=2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse, we want to switch the y with x and x with y. Once we do that, we solve for y.

y=\frac{1}{2}x+3        [switch x and y]

x=\frac{1}{2}y+3        [subtract both sides by 3]

x-3=\frac{1}{2} y        [multiply both sides by 2]

y=2x-6

Now, we know that  f^{-1}(x)=2x-6.
