Answer:

He is not correct as 12% of something is less than 50% due to 12 being less than 50

Step-by-step explanation:

12% of 1 is much less than 50%.

Lets convert these two numbers to decimals by moving the decimal two places forward.

50.%=.5

12.%=.12

Now that visual representation is out of the way lets see how much more 50% is compared to 12%

12/50=.24*100(To add a percentage) = 24% of 50%

But overall you can see this by seeing which number is bigger.

Which of the following inverse functions are defined for x=-1/2? Select all that apply.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

A, B, E, and F  

Step-by-step explanation:

sinx and cosx are defined for all values of x. So, sin⁻¹x and cos⁻¹x  are also defined for all values of x.  

A and E are correct.

tanx is defined for all values of x.

However, tan(nπ) = 0 at when n is an integer. So, tan⁻¹(±nx) is undefined. However, tan⁻¹(-½x) is defined, because -½ is not an integer.

B and F are correct.

C and D are <em>wrong</em>. Both sec⁻¹x  and csc⁻¹x are undefined when -1 < x < 1, and -½ is in this forbidden region.
