Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

solving for x in this equation, you would only need to divide the -5 on both sides.

-5x=30

divide both the x and 30 by -5:

x=-6

(make sure when dividing a negative by a positive the positive number ends up negative as well) :)

-5x divided by -5x to cancel the out the x and then 30 divided by -5, hope this helped!

Which statement describes the inverse of m(x) = x^2 – 17x?

DochEvi [55]

Given:

The function is

$m(x)=x^2-17x$

To find:

The inverse of the given function.

Solution:

We have,

$m(x)=x^2-17x$

Substitute m(x)=y.

$y=x^2-17x$

Interchange x and y.

$x=y^2-17y$

Add square of half of coefficient of y , i.e., $\left(\dfrac{-17}{2}\right)^2$ on both sides,

$x+\left(\dfrac{-17}{2}\right)^2=y^2-17y+\left(\dfrac{-17}{2}\right)^2$

$x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2=y^2-17y+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2$

$x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2=\left(y-\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2$ $[\because (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2]$

Taking square root on both sides.

$\sqrt{x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2}=y-\dfrac{17}{2}$

Add $\dfrac{17}{2}$ on both sides.

$\sqrt{x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2}+\dfrac{17}{2}=y$

Substitute $y=m^{-1}(x)$ .

$m^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{x+(\dfrac{189}{4}})+\dfrac{17}{2}$

We know that, negative term inside the root is not real number. So,

$x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2\geq 0$

$x\geq -\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2$

Therefore, the restricted domain is $x\geq -\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2$ and the inverse function is $m^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{x+(\dfrac{189}{4}})+\dfrac{17}{2}$ .

Hence, option D is correct.

Note: In all the options square of $\dfrac{17}{2}$ is missing in restricted domain.
