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

Maria earned $126 in simple interest from her savings account. If she invested $450 for 7 years what was the interest rate?

RSB [31]

The answer is B. You didn't mention compounding, so I have to assume that this is simple interest. The formula for simple interest is
Interest = principal * interest rate expressed as a decimal * time in years. 
$126 = $450 * X * 7. Now multiply $450 * 7 years = $3,150 
$126 = 3,150X 

What has been done to the X? It was multiplied by $3,150. What is the opposite of multiplication? It is division. Remember that whatever we do to one side of the equal sign we must also do to the other side of the equal sign. 

$126 = $3,150X 
-------____---------- 
$3,150__$3,150 

Any number over itself = 1. Now we have 
.04 = X 

To change a decimal to a percent move the decimal place two places to the right and add a percent sign. 
.04 = 4$. The answer is B

Suppose that you randomly draw one card from a standard deck of 52 cards. After writing down which card was drawn, you replace t

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

0.139

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Total number of cards=52

n=18

We have to find the probability of drawing at least 7 spades

Total number of spaded in deck of 52 cards=13
