Proportions are very simple once you get the hang of them! What you do is cross multiple. :)

1. x/8=5/16

You first start by multiplying x and 16

Then multiply 5 and 8

So now you have 16x=40

Finally divide 16 from each side

You get: x+0.4!

2. 5/12=15/x

Remember to cross-multiply!

Now we have 5x=180

Next divide 5 from each side

You get: x=36!

Prove the function f: R- {1} to R- {1} defined by f(x) = ((x+1)/(x-1))^3 is bijective.
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

See explaination

Step-by-step explanation:

given f:R-\left \{ 1 \right \}\rightarrow R-\left \{ 1 \right \} defined by f(x)=\left ( \frac{x+1}{x-1} \right )^{3}

let f(x)=f(y)

\left ( \frac{x+1}{x-1} \right )^{3}=\left ( \frac{y+1}{y-1} \right )^{3}

taking cube roots on both sides , we get

\frac{x+1}{x-1} = \frac{y+1}{y-1}

\Rightarrow (x+1)(y-1)=(x-1)(y+1)

\Rightarrow xy-x+y-1=xy+x-y-1

\Rightarrow -x+y=x-y

\Rightarrow x+x=y+y

\Rightarrow 2x=2y

\Rightarrow x=y

Hence f is one - one

let y\in R, such that f(x)=\left ( \frac{x+1}{x-1} \right )^{3}=y

\Rightarrow \frac{x+1}{x-1} =\sqrt[3]{y}

\Rightarrow x+1=\sqrt[3]{y}\left ( x-1 \right )

\Rightarrow x+1=\sqrt[3]{y} x- \sqrt[3]{y}

\Rightarrow \sqrt[3]{y} x-x=1+ \sqrt[3]{y}

\Rightarrow x\left ( \sqrt[3]{y} -1 \right ) =1+ \sqrt[3]{y}

\Rightarrow x=\frac{\sqrt[3]{y}+1}{\sqrt[3]{y}-1}

for every y\in R-\left \{ 1 \right \}\exists x\in R-\left \{ 1 \right \} such that x=\frac{\sqrt[3]{y}+1}{\sqrt[3]{y}-1}

Hence f is onto

since f is both one -one and onto so it is a bijective
