we are given

$f(x)=x^2-4x+5$

Since, we have to find inverse of this function

step-1: we set f(x)=y

$y=x^2-4x+5$

step-2: switch x and y

$x=y^2-4y+5$

step-3: Solve for y

$y^2-4y+(5-x)=0$

now, we can use quadratic formula

$y=\frac{4+\sqrt{4^2-4(5-x)} }{2}$

$f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{x-1}+2$

$f^{-1}(x)=-\sqrt{x-1}+2$ ..............Answer

Sviatoslav solved the quadratic equation x^2-x-1=0 by completing the square. In the process, he came up with the equivalent equa

zimovet [89]

Answer:

$x=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}$ and $x=\frac{1-\sqrt5}{2}$

and b= $\frac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a quadratic equation

$x^2-x-1=0$

We have to solve the equation by completing square and find the value of b.

$(x)^2-2\times x\times \frac{1}{2}+(\frac{1}{2})^2-(\frac{1}{2})^2-1=0$

$(x-\frac{1}{2})^2-\frac{1}{4}-1=0$

$(x-\frac{1}{2})^2-\frac{1-4}{4}=0$

$(x-\frac{1}{2})-\frac{5}{4}=0$

$(x-\frac{1}{2})^2-(\frac{\sqrt5}{2})^2=0$

$(x-\frac{1}{2})^2=(\frac{\sqrt5}{2})^2$

$x-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\sqrt5}{2}$ and $x-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{\sqrt5}{2}$

$x=\frac{\sqrt5}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}$

And $x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt5}{2}=\frac{1-\sqrt5}{2}$

Therefore, $x=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}$ and $x=\frac{1-\sqrt5}{2}$

and b= $\frac{5}{4}$

lions [1.4K]

Part A:

The plot for the function f(x) and g(x) is attached. The purple curve represents f(x) and the black line represents g(x).

Part B:

The graph of f(x) shows that f(x) is an exponential function.
The graph of g(x) shows that g(x) is a linear function.

Part C:

As x increases from left to right, the function f(x) increases very rapidly.
As x increases from left to right, the function f(x) increases at a constant rate.

Part D:

From the graph it can be seen than the valus of x for which the values of the function are equal are: x = -4 and x = 1.19.
