Neveah has created the function of f(x) = 2x+4/3 to represent the growth of her hair, where x represents the number of months si
Andre45 [30]
F(x)=2x+4/3

Replace f(x) by y:
y=2x+4/3

Solving for x:
y-4/3=2x+4/3-4/3

Subtracting the two terms on the left side of the equation:
(3y-4)/3=2x

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
[(3y-4)/3]/2=2x/2
[(3y-4)/3]*(1/2)=x
[(3y-4)*1]/[(3)*(2)]=x
(3y-4)/6=x
x=(3y-4)/6

Replace "x" by "f^(-1) (x)" (inverse function) and "y" by "x":
f^(-1) (x) = (3x-4)/6   Inverse function

Then, for x=6 
f^(-1) (6) = [ 3(6)-4]/6
f^(-1) (6) = (18-4)/6
f^(-1) (6)= 14/6
f^(-1) (6) = 7/3

Her hair will have grown 6 after 7/3 = 2.33 months

Find f(-2) for the following function. <br><br>f(x)=3.6x-2​
butalik [34]

Answer:

f(- 2) = - 9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(- 2) substitute x = - 2 into f(x) , that is

f(- 2) = 3.6(- 2) - 2 = - 7.2 - 2 = - 9.2

Algebra 1 Check Answer Please
BigorU [14]
The answer is the third one.

The way I think through these problems is that where you multiply (-7x), you use addition, and where you use addition (-4), you multiply.

The answers added together will equal the second number, -7, and multiplied will give you the third, -4.

What you had chosen as the answer was close. But 7.53+-0.53 equals positive 7, not negative. However they do round to -4 when multiplied.

The correct answer, -7.53 and 0.53, do equal -7 when added together and equal -4 when multiplied.

One of u guys helped me but they keep returning it saying show your work&gt;:(​
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:  She will need 36 yards of material.

Step-by-step explanation:

16 × 2¹/₄ can be done different ways,

First multiply ¹/₄ times 16. that is the same as dividing 16/4 = 4

Then multiply 2 times 16  2×16 = 32

Add 32 + 4 = 36

Another way is to change 2¹/₄ to an improper fraction and multiply

⁹/₄ × 16

   16

  <u> ×9</u>

   54  

<u> +9   </u>

 144

 

144/4 = 36
