1. A model of a famous statue is $2\dfrac{1}{2}$ inches tall that is

$\dfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}$ in.

2. The actual statue is $3\dfrac{1}{3}$ feet tall that is

$\dfrac{3\cdot 3+1}{3}=\dfrac{10}{3}\ ft=\dfrac{10}{3}\cdot 12=40\ in.$

3. The ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual statue in simplest form is

$\dfrac{\dfrac{5}{2}}{40}=\dfrac{5}{2}\cdot \dfrac{1}{40}=\dfrac{1}{16}.$

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{16}.$

Given f(x)=3x+12, find f(f^-1(0))

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

<h2>0</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

METHOD 1.

We know:

$f\bigg(f^{-1}(x)\bigg)=x$

Therefore

$f\bigg(f^{-1}(0)\bigg)=0$

METHOD 2.

$\text{Find}\ f^{-1}(x)$

$f(x)=3x+12\to y=3x+12$

exchange x to y and vice versa:

$x=3y+12$

solve for y:

$3y+12=x$ <em> subtract 12 from both sides</em>

$3y=x-12$ <em>divide both sides by 3</em>

$y=\dfrac{x-12}{3}\to f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x-12}{3}$

$f\bigg(f^{-1}(x)\bigg)\to$ replace x in f(x) with the expression $\dfrac{x-12}{3}$

$f\bigg(f^{-1}(x)\bigg)=3\cdot\dfrac{x-12}{3}+12=x-12+12=x$

$f\bigg(f^{-1}(0)\bigg)\to$ put x = 0 to $f\bigg(f^{-1}(x)\bigg)=x$

$f\bigg(f^{-1}(0)\bigg)=0$

METHOD 3.

$\text{Find}\ f^{-1}(x)$

$f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x-12}{3}$

Calculate the value of <em>f</em> ⁻¹(x) for x = 0:

$f^{-1}(0)=\dfrac{0-12}{3}=\dfrac{-12}{3}=-4$

Calculate the value of <em>f(x)</em> for x = -4:

$f(4)=3(-4)+12=-12+12=0$

If ABC is congruent to DEC, angle B = 50 degrees and angle E = 5x x=

Anarel [89]

Because base angles are congruent, both angle A and B are congruent. If the two triangles are congruent, then the base angles are the same, meaning 5x=50*. Divide by 10 and you get the answer of x=5. :) Hope this helps!

A company offered one half of its employees a bonus if the production of light bulbs increased by 20%. The other half of the emp

Sauron [17]

The correct order to determine if the results are significant are as follows:
1. Randomly separate the employee's individual results into two groups.
2.Calculate the mean of each group.
3. Calculate the difference of the means
4. Run the experiment many times
5. Calculate the probability of a difference of 5.
These steps are used to determine statistical significance by finding difference of means.
