<u>ANSWER</u>

f^{ - 1} (x) =4 {x}^{2}- 3

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

A function will have an inverse if and only if it is a one-to-one function.

The given function is

f(x) =  -  \frac{1}{2}  \sqrt{x + 3} \:  \: where \:  \: x \geqslant  - 3

To find the inverse of this function, we let

y=- \frac{1}{2}  \sqrt{x + 3}

Next, we interchange x and y to get,

x=- \frac{1}{2}  \sqrt{y+ 3}

We now solve for y.

We must clear the fraction by multiplying through with -2 to get;

- 2x = \sqrt{y + 3}

Square both sides of the equation to get:

(- 2x)^{2}  = (\sqrt{y+ 3}) ^{2}

4x^{2}   = y + 3

Add -3 to both sides

4 {x}^{2}  - 3 = y

Or

y = 4 {x}^{2}- 3

This implies that,

f^{ - 1} (x) =4 {x}^{2}- 3

This is valid if and only if

x \geqslant - 3

Answer:

So, the inverse of function

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

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the inverse of the given function

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

To find the inverse we replace f(x) with y

y = \frac{-1}{2} \sqrt{x+3}

Now, replacing x with y and y with x

x = \frac{-1}{2} \sqrt{y+3}

Now, we will find the value of y in the above equation

Multiplying both sides by -2

-2x = \sqrt{y+3}

Taking square on both sides

(-2x)^2 = (\sqrt{y+3})^2

4x^2 = y+3  

Finding value of y

y = 4x^2-3

Replacing y with f⁻¹(x)

f⁻¹(x)= 4x^2-3

So, the inverse of function

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

Solve a = a+b+c+d/4 for c
kupik [55]
A=a+b+c+d/4
subtract a from both sides
0=b+c+d/4
Subtract b from both sides
-b=c+d/4
Finally subtract d/4 from both sides
c=-d/4-b

Which set of ordered pairs could represent a function? (2, 3), (2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 9), (2, –2) (1, 5), (2, 6), (1, 6), (4, 5), (
Ratling [72]

Given:

The set of ordered pairs in the options:

(a) (2, 3), (2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 9), (2, –2)

(b) (1, 5), (2, 6), (1, 6), (4, 5), (1, 4)

(c) (1, 0), (2, 0), (1, 3), (4, 3), (5, 7)

(d) (5, 1), (7, 3), (9, 5), (11, 7), (13, 9)

To find:

The set of ordered pairs that could represent a function.

Solution:

A set of ordered pairs represent a function, if there exist unique output (y-value) for each input (x-value).

In option (a) we have, five output values y=3,2,4,9,-2 for single input x=2. So, it is not a function.

In option (b) we have, three output values y=5,6,4 for single input x=1. So, it is not a function.

In option (c) we have, two output values y=0,3 for single input x=1. So, it is not a function.

In option (d), all inputs has unique output.

Therefore, the correct option is (d).

g The downtime per day for a computing facility has mean 4 hours and standard deviation 0.9 hour. What assumptions must be true
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

To obtain a valid approximation for probabilities about the average daily downtime, either the underlying distribution(of the downtime per day for a computing facility) must be normal, or the sample size must be of 30 or more.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this question:

To obtain a valid approximation for probabilities about the average daily downtime, either the underlying distribution(of the downtime per day for a computing facility) must be normal, or the sample size must be of 30 or more.
