Answer: 1.4286 gallons

Step-by-step explanation: the equation would be:

0.9*5+0x=0.7(5+x)

then you can shorten it down to:

4.5=3.5+0.7x

subtract both sides by 3.5 and you end up with:

1=0.7x

divide both sides by 0.7 and you get 1.4286 gallons

Which pair of funtions is not a pair of inverse functions? please help!!

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

$f(x)=\frac{x}{x+20} , g(x)=\frac{20x}{x-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the inverse of a function, exchange variables x for y and y for x. Then clear the y-variable to get the inverse function.

we will proceed to verify each case to determine the solution of the problem

<u>case A)</u> $f(x)=\frac{x+1}{6} , g(x)=6x-1$

Find the inverse of f(x)

Let

y=f(x)

Exchange variables x for y and y for x

$x=\frac{y+1}{6}$

Isolate the variable y

$6x=y+1$

$y=6x-1$

Let

$f^{-1}(x)=y$

$f^{-1}(x)=6x-1$

therefore

f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions

<u>case B)</u> $f(x)=\frac{x-4}{19} , g(x)=19x+4$

Find the inverse of f(x)

Let

y=f(x)

Exchange variables x for y and y for x

$x=\frac{y-4}{19}$

Isolate the variable y

$19x=y-4$

$y=19x+4$

Let

$f^{-1}(x)=y$

$f^{-1}(x)=19x+4$

therefore

f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions

<u>case C)</u> $f(x)=x^{5}, g(x)=\sqrt[5]{x}$

Find the inverse of f(x)

Let

y=f(x)

Exchange variables x for y and y for x

$x=y^{5}$

Isolate the variable y

fifth root both members

$y=\sqrt[5]{x}$

Let

$f^{-1}(x)=y$

$f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[5]{x}$

therefore

f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions

<u>case D)</u> $f(x)=\frac{x}{x+20} , g(x)=\frac{20x}{x-1}$

Find the inverse of f(x)

Let

y=f(x)

Exchange variables x for y and y for x

$x=\frac{y}{y+20}$

Isolate the variable y

$x(y+20)=y$

$xy+20x=y$

$y-xy=20x$

$y(1-x)=20x$

$y=20x/(1-x)$

Let

$f^{-1}(x)=y$

$f^{-1}(x)=20x/(1-x)$

$\frac{20x}{1-x}\neq \frac{20x}{x-1}$

therefore

f(x) and g(x) is not a pair of inverse functions
