Simple. just do this:
1000x=1600
x=1600÷1000
x=1.6
each newspaper is $1.60
The inverse of the function is f(x) =
+ 8
In order to find the inverse of any function, start by switching the f(x) and x. Then solve for the new f(x). The result will be the inverse function. The work is below for you.
f(x) =
----> Switch f(x) and x
x =
----> Cube both sides
= f(x) - 8 ----> Add 8 to both sides
f(x) =
+ 8
The answer will be
x=root 121
x=11
You have to be very careful how you set this up. For every girl (who counts as 1) there are 3 boys (who count as 3). The total number in the proportion is 3 + 1 =4. You are given a total, but that is both boys and girls. That's why you need the 4.
3/4 = x / 236 Cross multiply
4x = 3 * 236
4x = 708 Divide by 4
x = 708/4
x = 177
There are 177 boys at the school and 236 - 177 = 59 girls.
Y = mx + b
m represents the slope
b represents the y intercept
