A.\\f(x)=2x-4\to y=2x-4\\\\\text{change x to y and y to x}\\\\x=2y-4\\\\\text{solve for y}\\\\2y-4=x\qquad|+4\\\\2y=x+4\qquad|:2\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+2\\\\f^{-1}(x)=g(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}x+2\\B.\\\text{Verifying if two functions are inverses of each other is a simple two-step process.}\\1.\ \text{Plug}\ f(x)\ \text{into}\ g(x)\ \text{and simplify}\\2.\  \text{Plug}\ g(x)\ \text{into}\ f(x)\ \text{and simplify}\\\\If\ g[f(x)]=f[g(x)]=x,\ then\ functions\ are\ inverses\ of\ each\ other.

f(x)=2x-4,\ g(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}x+2\\\\g[f(x)]=\dfrac{1}{2}(2x-4)+2=\dfrac{1}{2}(2x)+\dfrac{1}{2}(-4)+2=x-2+2=x\\\\f[g(x)]=2\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x+2\right)-4=2\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x\right)+2(2)-4=x+4-4=x\\\\\text{Since the results above came out OK, both}\ x,\text{ then we can claim}\\\text{that functions f (x) and g (x) are inverses of each other.}

How does the number of decimal places in the factors relate to the number of decimal places in the product of the example
Nostrana [21]
To multiply decimals: Set up and multiply the numbers as you do with whole numbers. Count the total number of decimal places in both of the factors. Place the decimal point in the product so that the number of decimal places in the product is the sum of the decimal places in the factors.

Factor completely 3x2 - 21.
VMariaS [17]
3x² - 21

Factor 3 from both terms:

3 (x² - 7)

To me, that's as far as you should need to go.  But if you want to get
completely carried away, you could go one step further, since you have
the difference of two squares:

3 (x + √7) (x - √7)

Of course, there's no end now, because the last binomial could be
considered another difference of two squares, so you'd have to
factor that too:

3 (x + √7) (√x + ⁴√7) (√x - ⁴√7)

but to me, this would be nonsense.

A rectangle has length 127.3 cm and width 86.5 cm, both correct to 1 decimal place. Calculate the upperbound and the lowerbound
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Correct to 1dp

127.3 cm = 127.0 cm

86.5 cm = 87.0 cm

Upper limits:

127.0 cm = 127.05 cm

87.0 cm = 87.05 cm

Lower Limits:

127.0 cm = 126.95 cm

87.0 cm = 86.95 cm

upper limit of perimeter of rectangle:

P = 2(l+w)

= 2(127.05 + 87.05)

= 2(214.1)

= 428.2 cm

lower limit of perimeter of rectangle:

P = 2(l+w)

= 2(126.95 + 86.95)

= 2(213.9)

= 427.8 cm

therefore;

427.8 cm \leqslant perimeter < 428.2cm

The radius of a circle with an area of 60 square centimeters is represented by the expression √60/π centimeters. What is another
monitta

Answer:

r= 2 √(15/π)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Area of circle =60sq cm

radius=√60/π

Area=\pi r^2\\60=\pi r^2\\\\\sqrt{\frac{60}{\pi}}=r\\\\\sqrt{\frac{15\times 4}{\pi}}=r\\2\sqrt{\frac{15}{\pi}}=r

Hence the radius can be written as 2 √(15/π)
