Answer:

B.  f(x) = -x^3 - x^2 + 7x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we want to find the fastest-growing term in our given expressions and equate them when x is - infinite and when x is infinite to see the given trends.

For each of these equations, we will simply take the terms with the highest power and consider those.  The two cases we need to consider is + infinite for x and - infinite for x.  Let's check each of these equations.

Note, any value raised to an even power will be positive.  Any negative value raised to an odd power will be negative.

<u>[A] - x^4</u>

<em>When x is +∞ --> - (∞)^4 -->  f(x) is -∞</em>

<em>When x is -∞ --> - (-∞)^4 --> f(x) is -∞</em>

<em />

<u>[B] - x^3</u>

<em>When x is +∞ --> - (∞)^3 --> f(x) is -∞</em>

<em>When x is -∞ --> - (-∞)^3 --> f(x) is ∞</em>

<em />

<u>[C] 2x^5</u>

<em>When x is +∞ --> 2(∞)^5 --> f(x) is ∞</em>

<em>When x is -∞ --> 2(-∞)^5 --> f(x) is -∞</em>

<em />

<u>[D] x^4</u>

<em>When x is +∞ --> (∞)^4 --> f(x) is ∞</em>

<em>When x is -∞ --> (-∞)^4 --> f(x) is ∞</em>

<em />

Notice how only option B, when looking at asymptotic (fastest-growing) values, satisfies the originally given conditions for the relation of x to f(x).

Cheers.

Find the inverse of f(x)= -x + 3
inna [77]
Let g the inverse function of f.

The most important property of g and f being inverses of each other, is that 

g(f(x))=x,      also f(g(x))=x

so, what one function 'does' to x, the other 'undoes' it.



Thus, we have:

f(g(x))=x      and alos   f(g(x))= -g(x)+3, from the rule


thus : 

-g(x)+3=x

-g(x)=x-3

g(x)=-x+3


check: f(g(x))=f(-x+3)=-(-x+3)+3=x-3+3=x


Answer: the inverse of f is g, such that g(x)=-x+3

In Wellington, a city of 360,000 citizens, there has been an outbreak of vampires and werewolves There are 3,000 people infected
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

0.0286 or 2.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people that have werewolfism is 21,000.

Of those 21,000, 600 also have vampirism, while the remaining 20,400 do not. Therefore, the probability that someone has vampirism, given that they have werewolfism is:

P(V|W)=\frac{N_{V\cap W}}{N_W}\\P(V|W)=\frac{600}{21,000} \\P(V|W)=0.0286=2.86\%

The probability is 0.0286 or 2.86%.
