Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's change those variables to x and y, just for the sake of convenience. In order to find the inverse of a function algebraically, switch the x and y coordinates, then solve for the new y. Letting y = A(n) and x = n (we will switch them back when we're done):
y = 3x - 20. This is linear; a line with a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of -20. When we switch the x and the y, we get:
x = 3y - 20. Now we solve for the new y. Begin by adding 20 to both sides:
x + 20 = 3y. Now divide both sides by 3:
, or to write it in slope-intercept form, like the function you started with:
This is also a line, with a slope of 1/3 and a y-intercept of +20/3
Now, replacing:
That is how to write the inverse using function notation. The little -1 as an exponent tells us that this is the inverse of the function A(n).
why do they be giving us this hardwork :(

Answer:
13. A
14. C.
Step-by-step explanation:
A relation is a function if there is only one y assigned to each x.
That is if you have a set of points, there should be no repeated x value.
So looking at {(0,0),(-2,4),(-2,-4),(-3,7)} this is not a function because you have two x's that are the same. A.
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The y-intercept is where the graph goes through the y-axis at. It goes through at -1 so b=-1.
The slope is rise/run. So starting from the y-intercept (0,-1) we need to find another point to count the rise & run to... How about (3,1)? That works. You can do the counting if you want. You could also use the slope formula.
To use the slope formula, I just like to line the points up vertically and subtract vertically then put 2nd difference over the 1st difference.
(0,-1)
-(3,1)
--------
-3 -2
So the slope is -2/-3 or just 2/3.
So the equation is y=2/3 x-1
C.
The expression you would substitute for x is -2y+4. The answer is d.
