If f(x)=x^2-1 what is the equation for f^-1(x)

Mathematics
1 answer:
TiliK225 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Swap y and x, then solve for y.

Original:

... y = f(x) = x² -1

Swap y and x:

... x = y² -1

Add 1:

... x + 1 = y²

Take the square root:

... ±√(x+1) = y . . . . . matches the 3rd selection

Rewrite as the inverse relation: (not a function)

... f^-1(x) = ±√(x+1)

_____

<em>Comment on the graph</em>

The attached graph shows the function f(x) in red, and the inverse relation g(x) in blue. You will note that g(x) is double-valued for most values of x, so is not a function. The function and its inverse relation are mirror images of each other in the line y=x. (That is, swapping y and x changes the function to its inverse, and vice versa.)

Help asap idek what to do

So to solve this question, your goal is to find out how the way it is solved is not correct.

Your answer would be: On the third line, the student adds the 8 to both sides instead of subtracting. The way the initial equation is given is

y-(-8)=-6(x-2). After distributing the six, the student should make the 8 positive because subtracting a negative makes a positive. After solving, the equation should look like: y(+8)=-6x+12, so you would subtract the 8 from both sides instead of adding it, and solve from there.

zysi [14]

Answer:

157 m^{3}

Explanation:

Volume = 1/3(area of base) times height. 1/3(PI X R(squared)) X height. 1/3 x 3.14 x 25 x 6 = 157
