Which function below is the inverse of f(x) = x^2-9

1 answer:

5 0

To find the inverse
replace f(x) with y
switch all x and y
solve for y
replace y with f⁻¹(x)

f(x)=x^2-9
y=x^2-9
x=y^2-9
x+9=y^2
sqrt both sides
$\sqrt{x+9}$
replace
f⁻¹(x)= $\sqrt{x+9}$

that is the inverse

Explain how showing fractions with models and a number line are alike and different?

Otrada [13]

Showing fractions can be expressed in model and number line.
Using a model, you have to draw the number of parts (denominator) and shade the number of parts (numerator).

Using a number line, the line starts from 0 to the number of the denominator. You put a marker to the number that is the same as the numerator.

Both model and number line use the value of the numerator and denominator. What makes them different is how they are presented. Model can easily be understood compared to number line.

Find the perimeter of a triangle with vertices A(3, 1), B(2, -1), and C(-3, 2). Leave

natulia [17]

The perimeter of triangle is: 14.15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to find the lengths of sides of triangles

Given

A(3, 1), B(2, -1), and C(-3, 2)

The distance formula will be used to find the lengths of sides

$d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\$

So,

$AB = \sqrt{(2-3)^2+(-1-1)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(2)^2}\\=\sqrt{1+4}\\=\sqrt{5}\\=2.24\ unitsBC = \sqrt{(-3-2)^2+(2+1)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(3)^2}\\=\sqrt{25+9}\\=\sqrt{34}\\= 5.83\ units\\AC = \sqrt{(-3-3)^2+(2-1)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(1)^2}\\=\sqrt{36+1}\\=\sqrt{37}\\=6.08\ units$
