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 law of cosines states that:

c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcosC

You already have all the values for the variables with the exception of x so:

x^2=25+100-100cos60

x=√(125-100cos60)

x=√75

x≈8.66 to nearest one-hundredth...

Find the midpoint given the endpoints (4,-10) (22,-4) Please do not use space when
Elza [17]

Answer: (13,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the formula (x_{m},y_{m})  =(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}  }{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}  }{2} )

(x_{m},y_{m})\\ is the coordinates of the midpoint.

For finding the midpoint X variable do:

(\frac{4+22}{2})=13

For finding the midpoint Y variable do:

\frac{-10+(-4)}{2} = -7 (you can either keep the parenthesis or take them out. Either way, the answer is the same.

Considering coordinate numbers follow the format: (x,y), you'll simply just substitute the numbers found above into their respective places.

x: 13

y: -7

(13,-7).

Answer is A, basically using the Pythagorean theorem but in a slightly different way, should still get you the same answer.
