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}

Flauer [41]
The answer is 5 7/8
b/c 2 1/2 = 2 4/8
so then convert 8 3/8 as an improper fraction which is 67/8
and do the same w/ 2 4/8 which is 20/8
the do: 67/8 - 20/8 = 47/8
simplify 47/8 = 5 7/8.
Your answer is 5 7/8 inches of ribbon left.

A colony of fruit flies exhibits exponential growth. suppose that 500 fruit flies are present. let p(t) denote the number of fru
murzikaleks [220]
I FOUND YOUR COMPLETE QUESTION IN OTHER SOURCES.
 SEE ATTACHED IMAGE.

 Part A:
 
The differential equation is:
 y '= 0.08y
 
The initial condition is:
 P (0) = 500

 Part B:
 
The formula for this case is:
 P (t) = 500exp (0.08 * t)

 Part C:
 After five days we have to evaluate t = 5 in the equation.
 We have then:
 P (5) = 500 * exp (0.08 * 5)
 P (5) = 745.9123488
 Rounding:
 P (5) = 746

A distributor needs to mix some Terraza coffee that normally sells for $9.00 per pound with some Kona coffee that normally sells
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mixture problems are really easy because the table never varies from one problem to another and they don't have a lot of variations in them like motion problems do. The table for us will look like this, using T for Terraza coffee and K for Kona:

                #lbs     x       $/lb       =         Total

T

K

Mix

Now we just have to fill this table in using the info given. We are told that T coffee is $9 per pound, and that K coffee is $13.50 per pound, so we will fill that in first:

                 #lbs        x        $/lb       =        Total

T                                           9

K                                         13.50

Mix

Next we are told that the mix is to be 50 pounds that will sell for $9.54 per pound

                  #lbs      x       $/lb        =        Total

T                                         9

K                                       13.50

Mix              50                 9.54

Now the last thing we have to have to fill in this table is what goes in the first column in rows 1 and 2. If we need a mix of 50 pounds of both coffees and we don't know how many pounds of each to use, then under T we have x and under K we have 50 - x. Notice along the top we have that the method to use to solve this problem is to multiply the #lbs by the cost per pound, and that is equal to the Total. So we'll do that too:

                 #lbs       x       $/lb      =      Total

T                   x        x          9         =        9x

K             50 - x      x       13.50     =    675 - 13.50x

Mix            50        x         9.54     =     477

The last column is the one we focus on. We add the total of T to the total of K and set it equal to the total Mix:

9x + 675 - 13.5x = 477 and

-4.5x = -198 so

x = 44 pounds. This means that the distributor needs to mix 44 pounds of T coffee with 6 pounds of K coffee to get the mix he wants and to sell that mix for $9.54 per pound.
