Answer:

If you want them at the same exact point then since the theif is 9 steps ahead it

will take 3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Robber:

starts at 9

starts at 9add on 5 and you get 14

starts at 9add on 5 and you get 14add 5 more you get 19

starts at 9add on 5 and you get 14add 5 more you get 19and another 5 would give you 24

Police:

is at 0 meters

add 8 any you get 8

add 8 more and you get 16

and another 8 would get you to 24

F:[1/2,infinity)—>[3/4,infinity) f(x)=x^2-x+1 find the inverse of f(x);please explain

dexar [7]

Answer:

$f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{x-\frac{3}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x^2-x+1

We want to solve for x.

I'm going to use completing the square.

Subtract 1 on both sides:

y-1=x^2-x

Add (-1/2)^2 on both sides:

y-1+(-1/2)^2=x^2-x+(-1/2)^2

This allows me to write the right hand side as a square.

y-1+1/4=(x-1/2)^2

y-3/4=(x-1/2)^2

Now remember we are solving for x so now we square root both sides:

$\pm \sqrt{y-3/4}=x-1/2$

The problem said the domain was 1/2 to infinity and the range was 3/4 to infinity.

This is only the right side of the parabola because of the domain restriction. We want x-1/2 to be positive.

That is we want:

$\sqrt{y-3/4}=x-1/2$

Add 1/2 on both sides:

$1/2+\sqrt{y-3/4}=x$

The last step is to switch x and y:

$1/2+\sqrt{x-3/4}=y$

$y=1/2+\sqrt{x-3/4}$

$f^{-1}(x)=1/2+\sqrt{x-3/4}$

Let D be the mid point of side BC, [B(2, - 1), C(5, 2)].

Therefore, by mid-point formula:

$D = ( \frac{2 + 5}{2}, \: \: \frac{ - 1 + 2}{2} ) = ( \frac{7}{2}, \: \: \frac{ 1}{2} ) \\ \therefore D= (3.5, \: \: 0.5) \\ \& \: A=(-1,\:\:4)...(given) \\\\ now \: by \: distance \: formula \\ \\ Length \: of \: segment \: AD \\ = \sqrt{( - 1 - 3.5)^{2} + {(4 - 0.5)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{(4.5)^{2} + {(3.5)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{20.25 + 12.25 } \\ = \sqrt{32.5} \\ \red{ \boxed{\therefore Length \: of \: segment \: AD = 5.7 \: units}}$

Equation of line AB[A(2, 1), B(-2, - 11)] in two point form is given as:

$\frac{y-y_1}{y_1-y_2} =\frac{x-x_1}{x_1 - x_2} \\\\\therefore \frac{y-1}{1-(-11)} =\frac{x-2}{2 - (-2) } \\\\\therefore \frac{y-1}{1+11} =\frac{x-2}{2 +2} \\\\\therefore \frac{y-1}{12} =\frac{x-2}{4} \\\\\therefore \frac{y-1}{3} =\frac{x-2}{1} \\\\\therefore y-1= 3(x - 2)\\\\\therefore y= 3x - 6+1\\\\\therefore y= 3x - 5\\\\ \huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore 3x - y-5=0}} \\$

is the equation of line AB.

Now we have to check whether C(4, 7) lie on line AB or not.

Let us substitute x = 4 & y = 7 on the Left hand side of equation of line AB and if it gives us 0, then C lies on the line.

$LHS = 3x - y-5\\=3\times 4-7-5\\= 12-12\\=0\\= RHS$

Hence, point C (4, 7) lie on the straight line AB.

4(b)

Like we did in 4(a), first find the equation of line AB and then substitute the coordinates of point C in equation and if they satisfy the equation, then all the three points lie on the straight line.
