Solve for <em>x</em> when √(<em>x</em> ² - 4) = 1 :
√(<em>x</em> ² - 4) = 1
<em>x</em> ² - 4 = 1
<em>x</em> ² = 5
<em>x</em> = ±√5
We're looking at <em>x </em>≤ 0, so we take the negative square root, <em>x</em> = -√5.
This means <em>f</em> (-√5) = 1, or in terms of the inverse of <em>f</em>, we have <em>f</em> ⁻¹(1) = -√5.
Now apply the inverse function theorem:
If <em>f(a)</em> = <em>b</em>, then (<em>f</em> ⁻¹)'(<em>b</em>) = 1 / <em>f '(a)</em>.
We have
<em>f(x)</em> = √(<em>x</em> ² - 4) → <em>f '(x)</em> = <em>x</em> / √(<em>x</em> ² - 4)
So if <em>a</em> = -√5 and <em>b</em> = 1, we get
(<em>f</em> ⁻¹)'(1) = 1 / <em>f '</em> (-√5)
(<em>f</em> ⁻¹)'(1) = √((-√5)² - 4) / (-√5) = -1/√5
The sign must be negative; see the attached plot, and take note of the negatively-sloped tangent line to the inverse of <em>f</em> at <em>x</em> = 1.
Answer:
if EG || HJ,
m GFD = 130°
Step-by-step explanation:
Because, m EFI = m GFD
( vertical opposite angles )
so, m GFD = 130°

Answer:
x=4 and x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you intend ...
y = (x^2 +5x +6)/(x^2 -16)
There will generally be points of discontinuity where the denominator is zero. Sometimes a denominator factor will be cancelled by a numerator factor, but the "hole" remains and there is still a discontinuity there.
Here, the denominator factors as the difference of squares:
x^2 -16 = (x -4)(x +4)
There will be discontinuities where these factors are zero, at x=4 and x=-4.
