Explain how to find (f^-1)’(b), given that b=f(a).

Ganezh [65]3 years ago

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)

andre [41]

Answer:

Option D) Yes, because the test statistic is -2.01

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ = 30 pound

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 29.1 pounds

Sample size, n = 20

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s =  2 pounds

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 30\text{ pounds}\\H_A: \mu < 30\text{ pounds}

We use one-tailed(left) t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{29.1 - 30}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{20}} } = -2.012

Now,

t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 19 degree of freedom } = -1.729

Since,                    

t_{stat} < t_{critical}

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis. Thus, there were enough evidence to conclude that the fishing line breaks with an average force of less than 30 pounds.

Option D) Yes, because the test statistic is -2.01

Help me please with the steps on how you can find the number of solutions or zeros with these questions!
arsen [322]

Answer:

2x²+5x-9=0

using quadratic formula

a=2 b=5 c=-9

x=[-5±√5²-4(2)(-9)]/2(2)

x=[-5±√97]/4

the zeros are( -5±√97)/4

Jacob is mixing salt with
77julia77 [94]

The number of tablespoons of salt jacob mixes with 1 cup of water is 4 tablespoon of salt.

<h3>How to interpret the division? </h3>

When 'a' is divided by 'b', then the result we get from the division is the part of 'a' that each one of 'b' items will get.

Thus, if 10 mangoes are there, and 2 people, then 10 ÷ 2 is the number of mangoes each person would get, which is 5.

Division, thus, can be interpreted as equally dividing the number that is being divided in total x parts, where x is the number of parts the given number is divided.

Thus, a \div b = a divided in b equal parts.

Also, we can write: a \div b = a \times \dfrac{1}{b}

(it is since a = a times 1 so a/b = 1 \times (a/b) = (1/b) \times a)

The given table is:

Tablespoons of salt          Cups of water

             8                                    2

             16                                   4

             24                                   6

2 cups of water gets 8 tablespoon of salt.

Then 1 cup of water gets 8/2 = 4 tablespoons of salt. (divided the numbre of cups of water and number of tablespoons of salts in 2 equal parts).

This pattern remains same for other rows of the table, since we have:

1 cup of water gets 8/2 = 16/4 = 24/6 = 4 tablespoons of salt.

Thus, the number of tablespoons of salt jacob mixes with 1 cup of water is 4 tablespoon of salt.
