Answer: To find the inverse of the function, we need to make x as a function of y and at the final step make a switch between x and y (i.e. make x as y and y as x)
y = x² + 4x + 4 ⇒⇒⇒ factor the quadratic equation
y = (x+2)(x+2)
y = (x+2)² ⇒⇒⇒ take the square root to both sides
√y = x+2
x = √y - 2 ⇒⇒⇒ x becomes a function of y
final step:
∴ y = √x - 2 ⇒⇒⇒ the inverse of the given function
So, as a conclusion:
f(x) = y = x² + 4x + 4 ⇒⇒⇒ the given function
f⁻¹(x) = y = √x - 2 ⇒⇒⇒ the inverse of the given function
Same thing as what you did on the bottom. Find numbers with both 7 as the base and numbers that add to 14 on the top. Possibilities:
1) 7^10•7^4
2)7^6•7^8
37^2•7^12
I believe the school is 35.2 ft. tall. call me out if I'm wrong.
