Answer: To find the inverse of the function, we need to make x as a function of y and at the final step make a switch between x and y (i.e. make x as y and y as x)
y = x² + 4x + 4 ⇒⇒⇒ factor the quadratic equation
y = (x+2)(x+2)
y = (x+2)² ⇒⇒⇒ take the square root to both sides
√y = x+2
x = √y - 2 ⇒⇒⇒ x becomes a function of y
final step:
∴ y = √x - 2 ⇒⇒⇒ the inverse of the given function
So, as a conclusion:
f(x) = y = x² + 4x + 4 ⇒⇒⇒ the given function
f⁻¹(x) = y = √x - 2 ⇒⇒⇒ the inverse of the given function
Notice that the denominator is a multiplied by 2 for each fraction.
1/1•2 = 1/2
1 /2•2 = 1/4
1/4•2 = 1/8
1/8•2 = 1/16
1/16•2 =1/32
The next size is 1/32.
Answer:
8.12 is the rounded answer
Step-by-step explanation:

1 gallon = 4 quarts
1 quart = 32 ounces
1 gallon = 128 ounces
9 gallons = 1,152 ounces
Filling 8 ounce cups = 1,152 / 8 = 144 cups
