Find the values of a through e that make these two relations inverses of each other. a = b = c = d = e = An image shows 2 tables
. The first table is a 2-column table with 5 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries negative 3.8, b, negative 1.4, negative 0.2, 1.0. The second column is labeled y with entries negative 3.1, 3.2, c, 4.4, 5.0. The second table is a 2-column table with 5 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries negative 3.1, 3.2, 1.7, d, 5.0. The second column is labeled y with entries a, negative 2.6, negative 1.4, negative 0.2, e.
In an inverse relationship, any point (x,y) in one table is transformed to (y,x) in the other one. For example, in Table A coordinate (1, 2) is present, then in Table B (the inverse), coordinate (2, 1) must be present.
we know that f(-2) = 24, namely when x = -2, y = 24, let's see if that's true
darn!! no dice.... hmmmm wait a second.... 4 * 6 = 24, if we could just use a common factor of 4 on the function, that common factor times 6 will give us 24, let's check.
