Inverse functions are usually denoted as g(x) and h(x), where g(x) is the original equation and h(x) is the corresponding inverse function. You can determine if the equations are inverse of each other if a certain point (a,b) on g(x) is on h(x) as point (b,a). So, there is a pattern wherein the x and y coordinates interchange with each other. Also, you could see it visually when you graph both equations. They are mirror images of each other about line y=x or a 45° line.

One way to solve if the equations are inverse of each other is if they meet this condition:

g( h(x) ) = h( g(x) )

Suppose g(x) = 3x + 7. To find its inverse, change g(x) to y first so as not to confuse you:

y = 3x + 7
Next, interchange y and x variables
x = 3y + 7
Isolate y on one side and x on the other:
y = (x - 7)/3 = h(x)

That is the inverse equation for g(x) denoted as h(x). To check, let's verify the condition:

g((x - 7)/3) = h(3x + 7)
3(x - 7)/3) + 7 ? ((3x + 7 - 7)/3
x - 7 + 7 ? 3x/3
x = x

Therefore, g(x) and h(x) are indeed inverse functions of each other.

Answer:

It depends on what property you use

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use the distributive property then you would get 5x-30

If you factor you would get 5(x-6)

One integer is 5 less than another and their product is 84. Find the integers.
andrezito [222]

The first integer is going to be x and the second one is going to be y.

We now turn the clues into equations:

x = y - 5

xy = 84

The substitution method:

(y - 5)y = 84

y^2 - 5y - 84 = 0

(y+7)(y-12) = 0

y = -7, 12.

If y = -7, then x = -12.

If y = 12, then x = 7

Answer:

3/32

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason it’s 3/32 is because you have to divide 3/4 divide by 8. So that means 3/4x1/8 and that gives you 3/32. I hope that helped you!
