What is the inverse of the function below? f(x) = 2^x + 6
2 answers:
The inverse of this function would be f(x) = .
You can find the value of any inverse function by switching the f(x) and the x value. Then you can solve for the new f(x) value. The end result will be your new inverse function. The step-by-step process is below.
f(x) = - 6 ----> Switch f(x) and x
x = - 6 ----> Add 6 to both sides
x + 6 = -----> Take the logarithm of both sides in order to get the f(x) out of the exponent
Log(x + 6) = f(x)Log2 ----> Now divide both sides by Log2
= f(x) ----> And switch the order for formatting purposes.
f(x) =
And that would be your new inverse function.

Answer:
So the value of height that separates the bottom 10% of data from the top 90% is 30.3.
If the score is lower than 30.3 we consider this score as risk averse
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
We are interested in the bottom 10% of the data.
For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
(a)
(b)
Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.
As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.1 of the area on the left and 0.9 of the area on the right it's z=-1.28. On this case P(Z<-1.28)=0.1 and P(z>-1.28)=0.9
If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:
But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 10% of data from the top 90% is 30.3.
If the score is lower than 30.3 we consider this score as risk averse
