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!

144 coins are divided equally among some
nalin [4]

Answer:

Consider the number of children to be x.

So, 144 coins were divided amongst x children.

For x-3 children, each child would have 16 coins

So, (x-3)*16=144

Solving for x, x-3=144/16

or x-3=9

or x=9+3=12

Answer is 12

What is the percent / degree of X ?
tia_tia [17]

Answer: 65

Step-by-step explanation:

All those angles added up have to equal 360 degrees.

The little square on the angle to the left of x means that it's a right angle, or 90 degrees.

360

- 180

= 180 <--- this is the bottom half,

180

- 90 <--- the right angle on the left

= 90

90

-25

= 65 <--- that's x
