If f(x)=1/9x-2 , what is f–1(x)?
1 answer:
Lets get started :)
f(x) =
- 2
y =
- 2
This is the original equation, and now we have to find the inverse.
When finding the inverse, just flip the variables, x as y and y as x
f ⁻¹(x)
↓
x =
- 2
We have to isolate y as it is our f ⁻¹(x)
Take 2 to the other side { When you see subtraction, you do addition }
x + 2 =
Take 9 to the other side { When you see division, you do multiplication }
9 ( x + 2 ) = y
9x + 18 = y
f ⁻¹ (x) = 9x + 18
f(x) =
y =

Given the first term at t₀ is 6 and the second term at t₃ is 32, let's take rabbit population as a function of time to be:
y = abˣ
where y is the population at time x and a the initial population at t₀
32 = 6b³
b = 1.75
Now we replace b in the population function:
y = 6(1.75)ˣ regression for the rabbit population as a function of time x.
The exponential function in terms of base is usually expressed as:
A = A₀e^kt
Hence, the regression equation in terms of base e is:
We substitute en last function, y - value with any number higher than 10,000 to estimate the time for the rabbits to exceed 10,000.
Hence, it takes approximately 13.3 months for the population to exceed 10000
