Answer:

(f⁻¹)'(b) = 1/f'(f⁻¹(b)) = 1/f'(a)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f⁻¹(x) is the reflection of the function f(x) across the line y=x. Every point (a, b) that is on the graph of f(x) is reflected to be a point (b, a) on the graph of f⁻¹(x).

Any line with slope m reflected across the line y=x will have slope 1/m. (x and y are interchanged, so m=∆y/∆x becomes ∆x/∆y=1/m) Since f'(x) is the slope of the tangent line at (x, f(x)), 1/f'(x) will be the slope of the tangent line at (f(x), x).

Replacing x with f⁻¹(x) in the above relation, you get ...

... (f⁻¹)'(x) = 1/f'(f⁻¹(x)) will be the slope at (x, f⁻¹(x))

Putting your given values in this relation, you get

... (f⁻¹)'(b) = 1/f'(f⁻¹(b)) = 1/f'(a)

It takes 4 people 6 days to paint a wall. How many days would it take 12 people
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

There are more than one way to do this:

Here's one way:

The least common multiple of 4 people and 3 people is 12 people.

12 people is 3 times as many people as 4 people, and

12 people is 4 times as many as 3 people.

Since 4 people take 6 days, 3 times as many people take only

one-third as long, or only 2 days. (since 2 is one-third of 6)

Since 3 people is only one-fourth as many people as 12, it will take

them 4 times as long as it would take 12 people, or 8 days. (since

4 times 2 is 8).

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 8 from 12

4 days

kiruha [24]

Answer:

48 different houses can be designed from these plans.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four options:

O1 - O2 - O3 - O4

O1 is the number of different living rooms. So O1 = 3.

O2 is the number of different bedroom configurations. So O2 = 4.

O3 is the number of different garage styles. So O3 = 2.

O4 is the number of different outside configurations. So O4 = 2.

In all,

T = 3*4*2*2 = 48

48 different houses can be designed from these plans.
