Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The inverse function tells you the input value that corresponds to the given output value of the function.
<h3>Application</h3>
You want f^-1(3), which is the value of x such that f(x) = 3.
f(x) = 3 = 4x +2
1 = 4x . . . . . . subtract 2
1/4 = x . . . . . divide by 4
The inverse function of 3 is 1/4:
I'd say the ball player would get 275 hits.
Answer:
C = 9x -600
Step-by-step explanation:
When the number of parts produced goes up by 500 from 100 to 600, the cost goes up $4500 from 300 to 4800. Thus the average cost of producing a part is $4500/500 = $9.
If that were the total cost of producing a part, then the first 100 parts would cost $9×100 = $900. They only cost $300, so $600 must be subtracted from the value 9x to get the cost.
... C = 9x -600
_____
<em>Check</em>
100 parts cost 9·100 -600 = 300 . . . agrees with problem statement
600 parts cost 9·600 -600 = 4800 . . . agrees with problem statement
_____
<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>
The initial statement tells you "cost ... related to the quantity produced." The question then asks you to "find an equation ... relating quantity produced to cost." The latter statement suggests you want the independent variable to be <em>cost</em>, not quantity. Here, we have made <em>quantity</em> be the independent variable, as suggested by the use of C= in the answer form.
