3+1/x *x = 7/x*x
3x+1 = 7
3x+1-1=7-1
3x=6
3x/3 =6/3
x =2

What is the correct order of steps for bisecting angle ABC? Draw a ray from point B through point F. Keeping the compass the sam

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Look to the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets arrange the steps for bisecting angle ABC

- The vertex of angle ABC is B, and its rays are BA and BC

# Step 1:

- Place the compass on point B, and swing an arc that intersects rays

BA and BC ⇒ 5th

# Step 2:

- Place point D on the intersection of the arc on ray BA and point E on

the intersection of the arc with ray BC ⇒ 3rd

# Step 3:

- Place the compass on point D, and draw an arc inside the angle ⇒ 6th

# Step 4:

- Keeping the compass the same distance, place the compass on

point E, and draw an arc inside the angle ⇒ 2nd

# Step 5:

- Place point F on the intersection of the arcs created from points D

and E ⇒ 4th

# Step 6:

- Draw a ray from point B through point F ⇒ 1st

* This ray is the bisector of the angle ABC

Determine the inverse of the function. (show work please)

uysha [10]

Answer:

This is easy -- it's just a list of steps. At this level, the problems are pretty simple.

Let's just do one, then I'll write out the list of steps for you.

Find the inverse of f( x ) = -( 1 / 3 )x + 1

STEP 1: Stick a "y" in for the "f(x)" guy:

y = -( 1 / 3 )x + 1

STEP 2: Switch the x and y

( because every (x, y) has a (y, x) partner! ):

x = -( 1 / 3 )y + 1

STEP 3: Solve for y:

x = -( 1 / 3 )y + 1 ... multiply by 3 to ditch the fraction ... 3x = -y + 3 ... ditch the +3 ... subtract 3 from both sides ... 3x - 3 = -y ... multiply by -1 ... -3x + 3 = y ... y = -3x + 3

STEP 4: Stick in the inverse notation, f^( -1 )( x )

f^( -1 )( x ) = -3x + 3

Can anybody help me with 1 and 2

Anit [1.1K]

1) $x \geq 96$
2) $x\ \textless \ 38$

Here, the variable $x$ can assume any value, and usually an inequality presented like this has $x$ as a stand-in for all real numbers. If we really wanted to make that fact clear, we could write the two inequalities like this:

$x \geq 96, x\in\mathbb{R}\\ x\ \textless \ 38, x\in\mathbb{R}$

Formally, you'd read $x\in\mathbb{R}$ as " $x$ is an element of the set of real numbers," which is a fancy way of saying that $x$ can be any real number.
