24 daises is the answer because if there is 8 roses and the ratio is 1:3 then you would multiply 8 by 3 to solve.
To find the inverse of this function, we first need to replace f(x) with y.
y = 2x^2 + 3
Now, we swap x and y
x = 2y^2 + 3
Now, we solve for y.
-3
x - 3 = 2y^2
Sqrt both sides.
√(x - 3) = 2y
Divide by 2
√(x - 3)/2 = y
Replace y with f^-1(x)
√(x - 3)/2 = f^-1(x)
Just realized you were asking for f(-1), not f^-1(x)
Feels bad.
f(-1) = 2(-1^2 + 3)
f(-1) = 2(-1^5)
f(-1) = 2(-1)
<u>f(-1) = -2</u>
I'm leaving the original answer in case you also need the inverse function. :)
Answer:
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is given as 
<em>to find inverse, we follow the steps shown below:</em>
<em>1. write "y" in place of "f(x)"</em>
<em>2. interchange "x" and "y"</em>
<em>3. solve for the new "y"</em>
<em>4. replace y with f^-1(x)</em>

Let's do this:

These 2 are the inverse functions.
