Answer:

2 hours for the 2 pipes

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pipe for a tank is 4 hours, but since 2 pipes is 2 hours less, it would take the two pipes together 2 hours

X = time it takes for the second pipe to fill the tank
x-2 = time it takes for both pipes to fill the tank
1/4 = portion of the tank filled by the first pipe in one hour
1/x = portion of the tank filled by the second pipe in one hour
1/(x-2) = portion of the tank filled by both pipes

Now you have your equation,
1/4 + 1/x = 1/(x-2)

You should be good now

What is the inverse of the function f(x)=4x+8
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

f  ( x )  − 1  = ( 1/ 4  x )  − 2.

Step-by-step explanation:        

For inverse function, the x and y interchanges and then make y the subject again of the equation. See the working out below:

f  ( x )  =  4 x  +  8

 f  ( x )  =  y

y    =  4 x  +  8

 x  =  4 y  + 8  ----- interchanging  y  and  x

Now make  y  the subject of the equation:

x  =  4 y  +  8

 − 4 y  =  -   x  +  8

 y  =  ( − 1/ 4  ) .  −  x   +  ( − 1/ 4  )  .8

 y  =  ( 1/ 4  x )  − 2

So the inverse function is:

f (x)  − 1  =  ( 1/ 4  x )  − 2

How do I find the inverse of the function? Also, is it a function and why?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially, begin by flipping the x and y terms:

x = (1 - 2y)^2 + 5

Then, solve for y:

\ x = (1-2y)^2 + 5\\\sqrt{x-5} = 1 - 2y\\\sqrt{x-5} - 1 = 2y\\\frac{\sqrt{x-5} - 1}{2} = y^-1\\

Because we know there is only 1 y-value for any given x-value, the inverse of the given function is also a function.
