Demarcus entered y=3*(1/2)^x+1 into an online graphing tool. What function did he graph?

I NEED HELP WITH QUESTION PLEASE!!<br> What is the inverse of f(x)<br> (x) = (x-4)² for x ≥ 4?

Answer:

4th choice $\bold{f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} + 4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Definition of the inverse of a function</u>

A function g is the inverse of a function f if whenever y=f(x) then x=g(y). In other words, applying f and then g is the same thing as doing nothing. We can write this in terms of the composition of f and g as g(f(x))=x. The domain of f becomes the range of g and the range of f becomes the domain of g

To solve for the inverse of the function $f(x) =\left(x-4\right)^2$

Let $y=\left(x-4\right)^2$

$\mathrm{Replace}\:x\:\mathrm{with}\:y$ $\text{ and replace }\:y\:\mathrm{with}\:x$

$x=\left(y-4\right)^2$

Switch sides
$\left(y-4\right)^2=x$

Take square roots on both sides
$y-4=\pm\sqrt{x}$

Add 4 on both sides to solve for y

$y = \pm\sqrt{x} + 4$

We have two solutions

$y=\sqrt{x}+4,\:y=-\sqrt{x}+4$

To determine which one of these to be chosen not that in the given choices we can eliminate the first two since x cannot be negative

The third choice can also be eliminated since
$-\sqrt{x} + 4$ is a decreasing function for $x \ge 0$

So the last answer choice is correct and the inverse of $f(x) = (x-4)^2$

is given by $f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} + 4$

Answer:4th choice $\bold{f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} + 4}$

Note

Domain of (x-4)² is [4, ∞) since x ≥ 4 and (x-4)² cannot be negative

Range of (x-4)² is [0, ∞)

Domain of $\sqrt{x}\:+\:4$ is [0, ∞)

Range of $\sqrt{x}\:+\:4$ is [4, ∞)

so indeed the domain of (x-4)² has become the range of $\sqrt{x}\:+\:4$ and the range of (x-4)² has become the domain of $\sqrt{x}\:+\:4$

A graph has a constant of proportionality of 7.2. Let y represent minutes and x represent miles.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

7.2 minutes per mile

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the description means y = 7.2x, the rate 7.2 means each increase in x of 1 mile results in an increase in y of 7.2 minutes. That is the rate is 7.2 minutes per mile.

The population of a town in 2007 is 113, 505

ELEN [110]

from 2007 to 2012 is only 5 years, so we can see this as a compound interest with a rate of 1.2% per annum for 5 years, so

$~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$113505\\ r=rate\to 1.2\%\to \frac{1.2}{100}\dotfill &0.012\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{per year, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &5 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=113505\left(1+\frac{0.012}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 5}\implies A=113505(1.012)^5\implies A\approx 120481$

What point(s) are 100units away from point -1? Can you pls respond quickly!

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Look below.

Step-by-step explanation:

FYI: Im a bit confused on what this question is asking but I am responding based on what I believe the question is asking.

The point 100 spaces to the left of -1 would be (-101,0) and the point 100 spaces to the left of -1 would be (100,0).

The point(s) 100 spaces to the left of -1 would be (- infinity, -1) and the point(s) 100 spaces to the right would be (-1, infinity).
