(a)
The inverse is when you swap the variables and solve for y.
g(t) = 2t - 1 (Note: g(t) represents y)
rewrite as: y = 2t - 1
swap the variables: t = 2y - 1
solve for y: t + 1 = 2y

= y
Answer for (a):
=
(b)
Same steps as part (a) above:
h(t) = 4t + 3
rewrite as: y = 4t + 3
swap the variables: t = 4y + 3
solve for y:
Answer for (b):
= 
(c)

replace all t's in the

equation with

=

=

=

=
Answer for (c):
= 
(d)
h(g(t)) = h(2t - 1) = 4(2t - 1) + 3 = 8t - 4 + 3 = 8t - 1
Answer for (d): h(g(t)) = 8t - 1
(e)
h(g(t)) = 8t - 1
y = 8 t - 1
t = 8y - 1
t + 1 = 8y

= y
Answer for (e): inverse of h(g(t)) =
% means out of 100 so If its 6% that = .06 then just multiply
8 / (7/8) =
8 * 8/7 =
64/7 =
9.14.....so he can cut 9 full pieces
Subtract -3-5 use Keep Change-Change
keep -3
change the - into a +
change 5 into -5
so... -3 + -5 is -8
-8 is the answer
Collect like terms
6.5x-4.5x = 6+10
2x = 6+10
Divide both sides
2x = 16
X= 8
