a(x) = 1/x - 2

or

y = 1/x - 2

Switch x and y to find the inverse function

x = 1/y - 2

1/y = x + 2

y = 1 / (x + 2)


Answer

a^-1(x) = 1 / (x + 2)

To find the inverse, swap the x's and y's and solve for y. <em>Remember that a(x) represents y</em>

y = \frac{1}{x} - 2 <em>given</em>

x = \frac{1}{y} - 2 <em>x's and y's swapped</em>

x + 2 = \frac{1}{y} <em>added 2 to both sides</em>

y(x + 2) = 1 <em>multiplied y on both sides</em>

y = \frac{1}{x + 2} divided (x + 2) on both sides

Answer: a^{-1} (x) = \frac{1}{x + 2}

Find the average rate of change between f(-7) and f(-1) in the function f(x)=x^2+2x -8
Viktor [21]

Solve the equation by replacing x with -7 and then -1.

Then subtract the two to find the difference and divide that by the difference between -7 and -1.

f(-7) = -7^2 + 2(-7) -8 = 49 -14 -8 = 27

f(-1) = -1^2 + 2(-1) -8 = 1 -2 - 8 = -9

Difference between 27 and -9 = -36

Difference between -1 and -7 = -6

Rate of change = -36 /-6 = 6

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?
inessss [21]

Answer:

y = x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

the line has a slope of 1 so you do not have to include it in the equation and it crosses the y-axis at -9 so the y-intercept is -9
