Let f(x) = 5x + 12. Find f−1(x).

1 answer:

7 0

Replace,

x = y

Or

x = f(x)

then us stay:

x = 5y + 12

Isolate 5y

5y = x - 12

Dividing both the sides by 5

y = x/5 - 12/5

Then, replace y = f^-(x)

f^-(x) = x/5 - 12/5

Hope this helps

I added a screenshot with the complete question

Answer:
Total miles = 2.5 miles

Explanation:
1- While walking:
We are given that Joelle walked 20 minutes at a rate of 3 miles per hour.
This means that she walked $\frac{20}{60} = \frac{1}{3}$ of an hour at a rate of 3 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time
Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while walking:
Distance = 3 * $\frac{1}{3}$ = 1 mile

2- While running:
We are given that Joelle ran 15 minutes at a rate of 6 miles per hour
This means that she ran $\frac{15}{60} = \frac{1}{4}$ of an hour at a rate of 6 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time
Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while running:
Distance = 6 * $\frac{1}{4}$ = 1.5 miles

3- getting the total mileage:
Total distance she covered = distance while walking + distance while running
Total distance she covered = 1 + 1.5
Total distance she covered = 2.5 miles

Hope this helps :)
