The answer is an equation, a condition:

f(x) = f^(-1)(x), then apply f(x) again: f(f(x) ) = f(f^-1(x)) = x,

f(f(x)) =x, that means that:

The point of intersection is the point where applying f(x) twice it results in the identity. A similar argument takes you to f^(-1)(f^(-1)(x)) = x.

Furthermore, the final answer is the point where f(x)=x (which coincides with f^(-1)(x)=x). That is the value of x where the function crosses the line y=x. If there is no such point, then f(x) and f^(-1)(x) will never cross each other.

I can see the proof graphically, so I can't post it.

For a line, it always works:

f(x) = ax+b, f^(-1)(x) = (x-b)/a,   ax+b = (x-b)/a --> a^2x+ab=x-b,

x = -(a+1)*b/(a^2-1) = -b/(a-1). Which is indeed where f(x)=x.

Answer:

Point of intersection of two graph: It is defined as the point at which where both graph cut to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that f(x) and its inverse function is f^{-1{(x) are poltted on the same coordinate plane.

We have to find the point of intersection.

Point of intersection of two graph: It is defined as the point at which where both graph cut to each other and value of both functions are equal at the point.

Suppose a function f(x)=2x+1

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-1}{2}

Substitute x=-1 then we get

f(-1)=2(-1)-+1=-1

f^{-1}(-10)=\frac{-1-1}{2}=-1

Therefore, the point of intersection is (-1,-1) because the value of both functions are equal at this point.

If Adrianna can read 7 pages in 10 minutes. At this rate, how many page can she read in 25 minutes?
lesya692 [45]

3.5 : 5

7 : 10

14 : 20

17.5 : 25

At that rate, she can read 17.5 pages in 25 minuets.

Divide both 7 and 10 by 2, which gets 3.5 and 5

5 * 5 = 25

5 * 3.5 = 17.5

Therefore, in 25 minuets, she can read 17.5 pages.

What value of x satisfies the equation 5x+1.5=7
Arte-miy333 [17]
First thing we are going to do to solve this is to subtract 1.5 from both sides so:
<span>5x+1.5−1.5</span>=<span>7−1.5
</span>5x<span>=5.5
</span>Next we are going to di<span>vide from both sides by 5 so:
</span><span><span>5x/</span>5</span>=<span>5.5/<span>5
Finally your final answer shall be:
</span></span><span>x=1.1

I hope this helps!</span>

Find the equation of the exponential function represented by the table below:
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The equation of the exponential function represented by the table will be:

f(x)= 2(4)^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the equation of exponential function such as

f(x) = ab^{x}

Put x=0, and y=2 in the function

2 = ab^{0}

2 = a

Also x=1, and y=8 in the function

8 = 2b^{1}

b=4

Thus,

f(x) = ab^{x}

        = 2(4)^{x}

Therefore, the equation of the exponential function represented by the table will be:

f(x)= 2(4)^{x}
