Let f(x)=2/x-3. Find f^-1(x)

Mathematics

Answer:

Two questions:

Question 1: f^{-1}(x)=? given f(x)=\frac{2}{x}-3.

Answer 1: f^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{x+3}

Question 2: f^{-1}(x)=? given f(x)=\frac{2}{x-3}.

Answer 2: f^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{x}+3

Step-by-step explanation:

So f^{-1} is used in most classes to represent the inverse function of f.

The inverse when graphed is a reflection through the y=x line. The ordered pairs (a,b) on f implies (b,a) are on f^{-1}.

This means we really just need to swap x and y.

Since we want to write as a function of x we will need to solve for y again.

Question 1:

y=\frac{2}{x}-3

Swap x and y:

x=\frac{2}{y}-3

We want to solve for y.

Add 3 on both sides:

x+3=\frac{2}{y}

Make the left hand side a fraction so we can cross-multiply:

\frac{x+3}{1}=\frac{2}{y}

Cross multiply:

y(x+3)=1(2)

Simplify right hand side:

y(x+3)=2

Divide both sides by (x+3):

y=\frac{2}{x+3}

So f^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{x+3}.

Question 2:

y=\frac{2}{x-3}

Swap x and y:

x=\frac{2}{y-3}

Make left hand side a fraction so we can cross multiply:

\frac{x}{1}=\frac{2}{y-3}

Cross multiply:

(y-3)x=1(2)

We have to distribute here:

yx-3x=2

Add 3x on both sides:

yx=2+3x

Divide boht sides by x:

y=\frac{2+3x}{x}

You could probably stop here but you could also simplify a little.

Separate the fraction into two terms since you have 2 terms on top bottom being dividing by x:

y=\frac{2}{x}+\frac{3x}{x}

Simplify second fraction x/x=1:

y=\frac{2}{x}+3

So f^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{x}+3.

Find the slope of the line through
Dafna11 [192]
When finding the slope between two points, we simply take (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
For this, we can substitute the following to get this :
y2-y1 and x2-x1
1 - 4 and 7 - 1
-3 and 6
-3 / 6 gets you -1/2

Therefore the answer is :
The slope of the line is -1/2

Answer: 940

Explanation: A quick way to think of this is moving the decimal in 9.4 to the right by two decimal places (since there are two zeroes in 100) Hope this helps! :)

Please help I am desperate
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

72pi cubic inches

1/3 pi r ^2 * h = 72 pi

1/3 r^2 h = 72

You can theoretically find infinite answers to this and get enough points for the semester where you don't have to do work anymore. I will list a couple more possible answers below

r = radius, h = height

r = 2, h = 54

r = 3, h = 24

r = 4, h = 27/2

r = √(1/pi), h = 72pi

X+5 divided by 3=15 what is the answer?
GREYUIT [131]
All you have to do is solve for x. See the following steps below.

Step 1. Subtract \frac{5}{3} from both sides

X= 15-\frac{5}{3}

Step 2. Simplify 15- \frac{3}{5} to \frac{40}{3}

X= \frac{40}{3}
