Write in 0 and 0 at the top:  this indicates that if there are zero pennies, the height of the tower is 0.  This is the point (0,0).  Another point is (4, 28):  a tower of 28 pennies is 4 cm tall.

Find the slope of the line connecting (0,0) and (4,28).
            4cm - 0 cm
    m = ----------------- = (1/7) (cm/penny)
            28 - 0

The equation we need, relating # of pennies to height of tower, is 

       t = (1/7) (cm/penny)x, where x is the # of pennies.

Thus, if x = 1, then t=1/7 cm

And, if x =15, then t = 15/7 cm

And so on.

Which statement describes the inverse of m(x) = x2 – 17x?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The \ domain \ restriction \ x \geq \dfrac{17}{2} \ results \ in \ m^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{x + \dfrac{289}{4} }}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information is that m(x) = x² - 17·x

The above equation can be written in the form;

y = x² - 17·x

Therefore;

0 = x² - 17·x - y

From the general solution of a quadratic equation, 0 = a·x² + b·x + c we have;

x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a}

By comparison to the equation,0 = x² - 17·x - y, we have;

a = 1, b = -17, and c = -y

Substituting the values of a, b and c into the formula for the general solution of a quadratic equation, we have;

x = \dfrac{-(-17)\pm \sqrt{(-17)^{2}-4\times (1) \times (-y)}}{2\times (1)} = \dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{289+4\cdot y}}{2}

Which can be simplified as follows;

x =  \dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{289+4\cdot y}}{2}= \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \dfrac{1}{2}  \times \sqrt{289+4\cdot y}} = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{289}{4} +\dfrac{4\cdot y}{4} }}

And further simplified as follows;

x = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{289}{4} +y }} = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{y + \dfrac{289}{4} }}

Interchanging x and y in the function of the inverse, m⁻¹(x), we have;

m^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{x + \dfrac{289}{4} }}

We note that the maximum or minimum point of the function, m(x) = x² - 17·x found by differentiating the function and equating the result to zero, gives;

m'(x) = 2·x - 17 = 0

x = 17/2

Similarly, the second derivative is taken to determine if the given point is a maximum or minimum point as follows;

m''(x) = 2 > 0, therefore, the point is a minimum point on the graph

Therefore, as x increases past the minimum point of 17/2, m⁻¹(x) increases to give;

The \ domain \ restriction \ x \geq \dfrac{17}{2} \ results \ in \ m^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{x + \dfrac{289}{4} }} to increase m⁻¹(x) above the minimum.
