If f(x) =5x + 12 what is f-1(x)

Mathematics

Olin [163]3 years ago

To find the inverse of a function, first, let's switch f(x) with y

y=5x + 12

Now, change all the x's into y's and change all the y's into x's

x=5y+12

Now, let's solve this equation in terms of y.

Subtract both sides by 12

x-12 = 5y

Divide both sides by 5

\frac{x}{5} -  \frac{12}{5} =y

Flip the equation so we have the y on the left

y=\frac{x}{5} - \frac{12}{5}

Now, replace the y with f^{-1}(x)

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x}{5} - \frac{12}{5}

That's your answer. If you need any clarifications, feel free to comment.

Have an awesome day! :)

3. At the start of summer, Ben has $250 . He takes a summer
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Week 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ben has $250 in the beginning.  He saves $150 per week.

y = 150x + 250

Tim has $1,650 in the beginning.  He spends $200 per week.

y = 1650 - 200x

We are trying to find which x-value produces the same y-value for both equations.  You can do this by setting both equations equal to each other.

150x + 250 = 1650 - 200x

(150x + 250) + 200x = (1650 - 200x) + 200x

350x + 250 = 1650

(350x + 250) - 250 = (1650) - 250

350x = 1400

(350x)/350 = (1400)/350

x = 4

By week 4, they will have the same amount of money.

Use differentials to find an approximate value for <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B65%7D%20" id="TexFormul
Sveta_85 [38]
: Let y = f(x) =  x^1/3  
Then dy = 1/3*x^(−2/3) dx 
 Since f(64) = 4.
We take x = 64 and dx = ∆x = 1  
This gives dy = 1/3*(64)^(−2/3)* (1) =  1/48  
∴65^(1/3) = f(64 + 1) ≈ f(64) + dy = 4 + 1/48 ≈ 4.021 <span>

Please help <br><br>must show work<br><br><br>there are 5 that I'm stuck on​
Cloud [144]

you cannot show too much "work"

basically, you remove what is common to all of the factors, and then put brackets, as it will be multiplied back in, remember that when you multiply exponents with the same base, its same as adding them, so subtract to remove...

you can seperate two of the variables , then factor, then subtract the last one from those two, because it cannot be factored out , as in part2 #2

Important guyz.....
dusya [7]

Answer:

When two functions combine in a way that the output of one function becomes the input of the other, the function is a composite function.

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, the composition of a function is a step-wise application. For example, the function f: A→ B & g: B→ C can be composed to form a function that maps x in A to g(f(x)) in C. All sets are non-empty sets. A composite function is denoted by (g o f) (x) = g (f(x)). The notation g o f is read as “g of f”
