Answer: B and E are irrational numbers
To determine the inverse of a function, we first write the parent function in terms of y. So, in this part the x would be isolated to one side of the equation. Then, with the new form of the parent function, we switch the x into y and y to x. The new function would be the inverse function. For the given function, we do as follows:
<span> y=-4/x + 1
y - 1 = -4/x
x ( y - 1 ) = -4
x = -4 / (y -1)
Replacing x into y and y into x,
</span>y = -4 / (x -1)
<span>Therefore, the inverse is y=-a/x-b where a = 4 and b = 1.</span>
Answer:
C. Four less than the product of two and a number is less than the product of four and the same number increased by eight.
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Converting expressions to word form
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
2x - 4 < 4x + 8
<u>Step 2: Translate</u>
"2x" is the product of two and a number <em>x</em>
" - 4" is four less
"<" is less than
"4x" is the product of four and a number <em>x</em>
" + 8" is increased by 8
<u>Step 3: Combine</u>
The difference between the product of two and a number <em>x</em> and 4 is less than the sum of the product of four and a number <em>x</em> and 8.
<u>Step 4: Reword</u>
Four less than the product of two and a number is less than the product of four and the same number increased by eight.
