Answer: $Q=37$ (37 megazines)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this problem you only need to solve for the quantity Q and substitute the values of p, as following:

- Solve for Q:

$p=-Q+42$

$Q=42-p$

- If the bookstore charges $5 for a magazine, you need to substitute $p=5$ into the formula, as following:

$Q=42-5\\Q=37$

2. Therefore, the answer is 37 megazines.

Answer:

37 magazines.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function for the price is : p= -Q + 42,

where p is the price and q is the quantity

If we make Q the subject of the formula we have:

p= -Q + 42,

-Q = p - 42

Q = -p + 42

Substituting p we have:

Q = -p + 42

= -5 + 42

= 37

The store will expect 37 magazines.

I NEED HELP WITH QUESTION PLEASE!!<br> What is the inverse of f(x)<br> (x) = (x-4)² for x ≥ 4?

goblinko [34]

Answer:

4th choice $\bold{f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} + 4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Definition of the inverse of a function</u>

A function g is the inverse of a function f if whenever y=f(x) then x=g(y). In other words, applying f and then g is the same thing as doing nothing. We can write this in terms of the composition of f and g as g(f(x))=x. The domain of f becomes the range of g and the range of f becomes the domain of g

To solve for the inverse of the function $f(x) =\left(x-4\right)^2$

Let $y=\left(x-4\right)^2$

$\mathrm{Replace}\:x\:\mathrm{with}\:y$ $\text{ and replace }\:y\:\mathrm{with}\:x$

$x=\left(y-4\right)^2$

Switch sides
$\left(y-4\right)^2=x$

Take square roots on both sides
$y-4=\pm\sqrt{x}$

Add 4 on both sides to solve for y

$y = \pm\sqrt{x} + 4$

We have two solutions

$y=\sqrt{x}+4,\:y=-\sqrt{x}+4$

To determine which one of these to be chosen not that in the given choices we can eliminate the first two since x cannot be negative

The third choice can also be eliminated since
$-\sqrt{x} + 4$ is a decreasing function for $x \ge 0$

So the last answer choice is correct and the inverse of $f(x) = (x-4)^2$

is given by $f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} + 4$

Answer:4th choice $\bold{f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} + 4}$

Note

Domain of (x-4)² is [4, ∞) since x ≥ 4 and (x-4)² cannot be negative

Range of (x-4)² is [0, ∞)

Domain of $\sqrt{x}\:+\:4$ is [0, ∞)

Range of $\sqrt{x}\:+\:4$ is [4, ∞)

so indeed the domain of (x-4)² has become the range of $\sqrt{x}\:+\:4$ and the range of (x-4)² has become the domain of $\sqrt{x}\:+\:4$

A carnival game allows a group of players to each draw and keep a marble from a bag. The bag contains 5 gold marbles, 25 silver

laila [671]

1. What’s the probablity of a second person winning the small prize?
There are now 99 total marbles, and 24 silver marbles. So, 24/99 is 0.24 probability.
2. Which player is most likely to win a big prize?
Since each player draws a silver marble (aka a small prize) there are less small prize marbles in the bag after each turn. So, the first person would have a 5% chance (or 0.05)of winning the big prize gold marble, but the last person would have a slightly bigger chance (5.15% or 0.0515) of winning a big prize.
3. How could the game be made fair for each player?
Well it’s quite simple, just have each player return their marble and the number of marbles would be kept constant, giving everyone an equal chance. Or you could have them all play at the same time, either way.
4. Same answer as 3
