To solve this problem, plug 8250 in for b and 15 in for t and then solve for k:

8250=1000e^{15k}

<em>*Divide both sides by 1000*</em>

8.25=e^{15k}

<em>*Take the natural log (ln) of both sides*</em>

2.1102=15k

<em>*Divide both sides by 15*</em>

0.1406=k


0.1406 rounds to 0.141 which is close to a. 0.143.


Hope this helps!!

A. Use composition to prove whether or not the functions are inverses of each other. B. Express the domain of the compositions u
Kryger [21]

Given: f(x) = \frac{1}{x-2}

           g(x) = \frac{2x+1}{x}

A.)Consider

f(g(x))= f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )

f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=\frac{1}{(\frac{2x+1}{x})-2}

f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=\frac{1}{\frac{2x+1-2x}{x}}

f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=\frac{x}{1}

f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=1

Also,

g(f(x))= g(\frac{1}{x-2} )

g(\frac{1}{x-2} )= \frac{2(\frac{1}{x-2}) +1 }{\frac{1}{x-2}}

g(\frac{1}{x-2} )= \frac{\frac{2+x-2}{x-2} }{\frac{1}{x-2}}

g(\frac{1}{x-2} )= \frac{x }{1}

g(\frac{1}{x-2} )= x


Since, f(g(x))=g(f(x))=x

Therefore, both functions are inverses of each other.


B.

For the Composition function f(g(x)) = f(\frac{2x+1}{x} )=x

Since, the function f(g(x)) is not defined for x=0.

Therefore, the domain is (-\infty,0)\cup(0,\infty)


For the Composition function g(f(x)) =g(\frac{1}{x-2} )=x

Since, the function g(f(x)) is not defined for x=2.

Therefore, the domain is (-\infty,2)\cup(2,\infty)
