When do you need to use two number lines to compare two fractions?

1 answer:

3 0

<span>You need two number lines to compare two fractions when their denominators are different. The procedure is that you draw to segment lines of the same length but divede each line according to its denominator and then compare the place of the points that mark the fraction numbers, the line that content the marke further away from the start end will be indicate the greater fraction. For example, the fractions 3/4 and 7/10. One line will be divided inot 4 equidistant segments, and the other with 10 equidistant segments. The fraction 3/4 will be represented with 3 marks on the first line, and the fraction 7/10 will be represented with 7 marks on the second line. Now you can compare the size of the two segments marked adn decide which fraction is greater. </span>

For which function is f(x) equal to f^1(x) ( answer choices in picture )

Sonja [21]

Answer:

C. $f(x)=\frac{x+1}{x-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the inverse of each of the given options.

Option A:

$f(x)=\frac{x+6}{x-6}\\y=\frac{x+6}{x-6}$

To find $f^{-1}(x)$ , replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

$x=\frac{y+6}{y-6}$

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

$x(y-6)=y+6\\xy-6x=y+6\\xy-y=6x+6\\y=\frac{6x+6}{x-1}$

The given function $y=\frac{6x+6}{x-1}\ne y=\frac{x+6}{x-6}$

So, option A is incorrect.

Option B:

$f(x)=\frac{x+2}{x-2}\\y=\frac{x+2}{x-2}$

To find $f^{-1}(x)$ , replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

$x=\frac{y+2}{y-2}$

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

$x(y-2)=y+2\\xy-2x=y+2\\xy-y=2x+2\\y=\frac{2x+2}{x-1}$

The given function $y=\frac{2x+2}{x-1}\ne y=\frac{x+2}{x-2}$

So, option B is incorrect.

Option C:

$f(x)=\frac{x+1}{x-1}\\y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}$

To find $f^{-1}(x)$ , replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

$x=\frac{y+1}{y-1}$

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

$x(y-1)=y+1\\xy-x=y+1\\xy-y=x+1\\y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}$

The given function $y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}\ equals\ y=\frac{x+1}{x-1}$

So, option C is correct.

Option D:

$f(x)=\frac{x+5}{x-5}\\y=\frac{x+5}{x-5}$

To find $f^{-1}(x)$ , replace 'x' with 'y' and 'y' with 'x'. This gives,

$x=\frac{y+5}{y-5}$

Rewrite in terms of 'y'. This gives,

$x(y-5)=y+5\\xy-5x=y+5\\xy-y=5x+5\\y=\frac{5x+5}{x-1}$

The given function $y=\frac{5x+5}{x-1}\ne y=\frac{x+6}{x-6}$

So, option D is incorrect.

Therefore, only option C is correct.

Which graph best represents the solution set of 2/3x + y ≤ − 2?

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is D. Easy way to tell, the less than or equal to sign indicates a solid line in the graph. Equal=solid line. Also when you solve for y, the slope of the line (-2/3)is negative, indicating a line sloping downward.
