Great Question!

The problem we have at hand is known to be a function, which maps elements from one set of objects, ( the domain ) onto another, the range. If we were to consider an ordered pair, say ( x, y ), then the function would map x onto y. The inverse function is simply the reverse. Take the ordered pair (-4,0). Function g would map - 4 onto 0, such that g( - 4 ) = 0. Therefore, the inverse function would map 0 onto - 4, resulting in g^{-1}( 0 ) = - 4. And there you have it! Our first part is answered!

____

This second bit here is interesting. Let y = h( x ) -

y = 4x + 3 - Switch x and y,

x = 4y + 3 - And now solve this equation for y,

x - 4y = 3,\\- 4y = - x + 3,\\y = 1 / 4x - 3 / 4

As you can see, we have taken the inverse of h( x ). As y = h( x ), we can thus conclude the following -

h^{-1}(x) = 1 / 4x - 3 / 4

____

The composition (h^-1 o h)(-5) is, in other words, h^-1(h(-5)). We can therefore calculate h(-5) and then take it's inverse -

h(-5) = 4(-5) + 3,\\h(-5) = - 20 + 3,\\h(-5) = - 17

Now we can take it's inverse -

h^{-1}(-17) = 1 / 4( - 17 ) - 3 / 4,\\- 17 / 4 - 3 / 4,\\= - 5!

Our solution for this last bit is - 5. And, if you don't feel like reading through this entire explanation just take a look at the " summed up " answer below,

g^{-1}( 0 ) = - 4,\\\\h^{-1}( x ) = 1 / 4x - 3 / 4,\\\\( h * h^{-1} )( - 5 ) = - 5  I do hope that helps you!

Joshua has $560. He wants to buy a laptop that costs $320 as well as a case for the laptop that costs $65 and is currently on sa
Igoryamba

Answer:$154.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 65 and multiple .15 and that will give you the 15% off of the case. When u do that you get 9.75 so then 65-9.75= 55.25 multiply .08 for the sales tax on the case = 4.42 add to 55.25= 59.67 then add the sales tax for the laptop 320 multiplied by .08 = 25. 60 for a total of 345.60 then add that to 59.67 = 405.27 then u have to subtract that from 560 and Josh has $154.73
