Keeping in mind that 16 = 2*2*2*2, thus 16 = 2⁴
So, let's say the soft drink equals y and the sandwich equals x.
x + y = 9.9
The sandwich costs 3.5 times as much as the soft drink
x = 3.5y
Therefore, we can replace x with 3.5y since they're the same thing
3.5y + y = 9.9 <-- That's the equation :)
<span>2√(x-5) = 2
</span><span>√(x-5) = 1
</span>x-5 = 1
x=6(I don't know what extraneous solution means though)
(a) since we are given that f(8) = 9, the inverse of 9 is simply 8. Therefore, f^-1(9) = 8.
(b) Again, f is the inverse of f^-1, therefore, you simply switch numbers, and you get that f(-3) = -7.
