Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

f^{-1}(2)=b \text{ implies } f(b)=2

This we means to to solve the following equation for b:

f(b)=\log_2(b+1)

2=\log_2(b+1) since f(b)=2

Write in equivalent exponential form:

2^2=b+1

4=b+1

Subtract 1 on both sides:

4-1=b

3=b

This means f(3)=2 \text{ so } f^{-1}(2)=3

You could actually find the inverse function if you want to then replace input for the inverse with 2.

y=\log_2(x+1)

Your logarithm has base 2 and input (x+1) and output y.

The equivalent exponential form is:

2^{y}=x+1

If we solve for x then at the end swap x and y we would have found the inverse function.

Let's do that:

2^y=x+1Subtract 1 on both sides:[tex]2^y-1=x

Swap x and y:

2^x-1=y

The inverse function of our given function is:

f^{-1}(x)=2^x-1

Now we need to replace x with 2:

f^{-1}(2)=2^2-1

f^{-1}(2)=4-1

f^{-1}(2)=3

as you already know, to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables, and then solve for "y".

\bf \textit{Logarithm Cancellation Rules} \\\\ log_a a^x = x\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{we'll use this one}}{a^{log_a x}=x} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\log_2(x+1)\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{\underline{x}=\log_2(\underline{y}+1)}\implies 2^x=2^{\log_2({y}+1)} \\\\\\ 2^x=y+1\implies 2^x-1=\stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ 2^2-1=f^{-1}(2)\implies 3=f^{-1}(2)

The required domain of the inverse function is x ≤ 0. Hence option D is correct.

f(x) = -x^2

<h3>What are functions?</h3>

Functions is the relationship between sets of values. e g y=f(x), for every value of x there is its exists in set of y. x is independent variable while Y is dependent variable.

Inverse of function f(x) = -x^2
y = -x^2
x = √-y
Now,
Inverse function of f(x) is √-x
Its domain is define as less than or equal to zero.

Thus, the required domain of the inverse function is x ≤ 0.

Anyone can help me I would appreciate it

Answer:

This would be shifted down 8 and made 3 times less steep.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine these transformations, we first need to compare the constants at the end. This will determine the up or downward shift. Since the f(x) is 5 and the g(x) is -3, we know that it went down 8.

Next we compare the coefficients of x. Since the f(x) is 6 and the g(x) is 2, we know that it is 3 times less steep.

Mona wrote 7 tests, and her test average is 93. There will be one more test before the end of the year. What is the lowest grade
olga55 [171]
For this case, the first thing we are going to do is assume that all the tests are worth the same.
 Then, we define a variable:
 x: score of Mona's last test
 We write now the inequality that models the problem:
 \frac{93 + x}{2}  \geq  90
 From here, we clear the value of x: 93 + x  \geq  90*(2) &#10;&#10;93 + x  \geq  180&#10;&#10; x  \geq  180 - 93&#10;&#10; x  \geq  87
 Answer:
 
the lowest grade that Mona can get for her last test so that her test average is 90 or more is:
 
x = 87
