Answer:

C. f(x)=\frac{x+1}{x-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the inverse of each of the given options.

Option A:

f(x)=\frac{x+6}{x-6}\\y=\frac{x+6}{x-6}

To find f^{-1}(x), replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

x=\frac{y+6}{y-6}

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

x(y-6)=y+6\\xy-6x=y+6\\xy-y=6x+6\\y=\frac{6x+6}{x-1}

The given function y=\frac{6x+6}{x-1}\ne y=\frac{x+6}{x-6}

So, option A is incorrect.

Option B:

f(x)=\frac{x+2}{x-2}\\y=\frac{x+2}{x-2}

To find f^{-1}(x), replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

x=\frac{y+2}{y-2}

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

x(y-2)=y+2\\xy-2x=y+2\\xy-y=2x+2\\y=\frac{2x+2}{x-1}

The given function y=\frac{2x+2}{x-1}\ne y=\frac{x+2}{x-2}

So, option B is incorrect.

Option C:

f(x)=\frac{x+1}{x-1}\\y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}

To find f^{-1}(x), replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

x=\frac{y+1}{y-1}

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

x(y-1)=y+1\\xy-x=y+1\\xy-y=x+1\\y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}

The given function y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}\ equals\ y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}

So, option C is correct.

Option D:

f(x)=\frac{x+5}{x-5}\\y=\frac{x+5}{x-5}

To find f^{-1}(x), replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

x=\frac{y+5}{y-5}

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

x(y-5)=y+5\\xy-5x=y+5\\xy-y=5x+5\\y=\frac{5x+5}{x-1}

The given function y=\frac{5x+5}{x-1}\ne y=\frac{x+6}{x-6}

So, option D is incorrect.

Therefore, only option C is correct.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

60 sec= 1 min

60min=1hour

24hours=1day

7days=1week

52 weeks =1 year

24x7= 168hours in a week

168hours x 52 =8736 hours in a year

8736x60=524160mins

524160mins=  1 year

Ket [755]

Total seats: 52 x 7 + 8 x 12 = 364 + 96 = 460

Total cost for total seats = 460 x 23 = 10,580

Cost for buses: 150 x 7 + 80 x 8 = 1050 + 640 = 1690

Total cost = 10,580 + 1,690 = $12,270
