Give me just a second to write it all down and I'll give you the answers!:)
Dependent variable is the one on the y axis. So for this problem, it’s money collected.
Yes choice B) 1/5 is correct. You are using the correct formula and steps. Nice work.
Here's another way to look at it:
When you visually plot the inverse, you reflect everything over the line y = x. What happens is that every (x,y) point swaps coordinates. So if (1,2) is on g(x), then (2,1) is on the inverse, and vice versa. Swapping the x and y values will swap the nature of the tangent slope.
For any tangent on g(x), its slope is m = (dy)/(dx)
The corresponding slope on the inverse will be n = (dx)/(dy). All that's happened here is that the numerator and denominator flipped. Again because x and y have swapped places. If you wanted, you can picture the xy axis where the vertical axis is the x axis and the horizontal axis is the y axis. That's effectively what is going on here.
So before you found that g'(1) = 5 meaning that m = 5/1 on g(x) at the point (1,2)
So n = 1/m = 1/5 for the point (2,1) on the inverse g function.
First you should rearrange to get it in the form y = mx + c, and you do this by subtracting the 9x from both sides and dividing by 15, which gives you:
y = (-9/15)x + 3
Now you know the y-intercept is 3, so you can mark that on as a point.
Then, to graph the gradient of -9/15, you go along 15 spaces to the right and 9 spaces down, or 15 to the left and 9 spaces up, and you repeat this until you run out of room. Then you just join the dots
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
25% because 21 is a quarter of 84. And 21 times 4= 84, so 21 is 25% of 84.
