Answer:

  • f^{-1}(x)=\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{x}{4}}
  • f^{-1}(x) \quad\text{is not a function}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse function, solve for y:

x=f(y)\\\\x=4y^4\\\\\dfrac{x}{4}=y^4\\\\\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{x}{4}}=y\\\\f^{-1}(x)=\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{x}{4}}

f(x) is an even function, so f(-x) = f(x). Then the inverse relation is double-valued: for any given y, there can be either of two x-values that will give that result.

___

A function is single-valued. That means any given domain value maps to exactly one range value. The test of this is the "vertical line test." If a vertical line intersects the graph in more than one point, then that x-value maps to more than one y-value.

The horizontal line test is similar. It is used to determine whether a function has an inverse function. If a horizontal line intersects the graph in more than one place, the inverse relation is not a function.

__

Since the inverse relation for the given f(x) maps every x to two y-values, it is not a function. You can also tell this by the fact that f(x) is an even function, so does not pass the horizontal line test. When f(x) doesn't pass the horizontal line test, f^-1(x) cannot pass the vertical line test.

_____

The attached graph shows the inverse relation (called f₁(x)). It also shows a vertical line intersecting that graph in more than one place.

What should the following rate be divided by to convert it to a unit rate?<br> 6 inches<br> 12 hours
iragen [17]

Answer:

0.5 Inches per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Most normal people won't know exactly what unit rate is, or how to calculate it. So I'm here to help!

This is a fraction equal to

6 inches ÷ 12 hours

We want a unit rate where

1 is in the denominator,

so we divide top and bottom by 12

6 inches ÷ 12

12 hours ÷ 12

=  

0.5 inches

1 hour

=  

0.5 inches

hour

= 0.5 inches per hour

Glad I was able to help!

A construction worker is sent to the store to buy more than 30 lb of roofing nails. The nails are sold in 5 lb boxes and 10 lb b
trapecia [35]

Answer:

The answer is A: 5x + 10y > 30. That is, the combination of boxes must be greater than 30 since the requirement is to have more than 30 lb of nails.

Step-by-step explanation:

The worker can buy a combination of boxes, as long as the total is greater than 30 lb. Multiply 5 lb by x and add that to 10 lb times y to get the total, which must exceed 30 lb.
