Luda [366]3 years ago

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to find the inverse of a function

- To find the inverse of a function :

# Write y = f(x)

# Switch the x and y

# Solve to find the new y

# The new y is f^{-1}

* Lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = 2x + 1

- Put y = f(x)

∴ y = 2x + 1

- Switch x and y

∴ x = 2y + 1

- Solve to find the new y

∵ x = 2y + 1

- Subtract 1 from both sides

∴ x - 1 = 2y

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ (x - 1)/2 = y

- Divide each term in the left hand side by 2

∴ y = 1/2 x - 1/2

- Replace y by f^{-1}

∴ f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}

* The inverse of the function is f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}

Answer: OPTION 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x):

f(x) = 2x + 1

You can follow these steps in order to find its inverse function h(x):

- Rewrite it with f(x)=y:

y= 2x + 1

- Solve for "x":

y-1=2x\\\\\frac{y-1}{2}=x\\\\ x=\frac{1}{2}y-\frac{1}{2}

- Exchange the variables:

y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}

- Rewrite it with y=h(x). Then:

 h(x)=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}

How do you solve this?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

y = -3/2x + 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Point: (5, -5)

Parallel to: y = -3/2x + 2

Slope= -3/2 (parallel lines have the same slope)

y-intercept = -5 - (-3/2)(5) (y - slope times x) =

-5 + 15/2 = 5/2

For which intervals is the function decreasing?
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The function is decreasing in the following intervals

A. (0, 1)

C. (2, pi)

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, imagine that you draw lines of slope m parallel to the function shown at each point.

-If the slope of this line parallel to the function is negative for those points then the function is decreasing.

-If the slope of this line parallel to the function is positive for those points then the function is increasing.

Observe in the lines drawn in the attached image. You can see that they have slope less than zero in the following interval:

(0, 1) U (2, pi)

Therefore the correct option is:

A. (0, 1)

C. (2, pi)

How I simplify this real life expression and show unit analysis?
Anton [14]

The value of the real life expression is, simple interest = $12.5

<h3>How to simplify this real life expression and show unit analysis?</h3>

The real life expression is given as:

simple interest = ($100) (0.05/year) (2.5 years

Divide 1 year by 1 year

simple interest = ($100) (0.05) (2.5)

Rewrite the equation as a product of factors

simple interest = ($100) * (0.05)*  (2.5)

Evaluate the product of 0.05 and 2.5

simple interest = ($100) * 0.125

Evaluate the product of $100 and 0.125

simple interest = $12.5

Hence, the value of the real life expression is, simple interest = $12.5
