Answer:

h(x)=\frac{x}{2}-\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

Step1

Let f(x)=y

f(x) = 2x + 1

(1)y= 2x + 1  

to find the inverse of f(x)

Replace every x with a y and replace every y with an x

y= 2x + 1

replacing  

x=2y+1

Step 2

Now solve the equation for y

x=2y+1

subtract 1 on both sides

x-1=2y+1-1

x-1=2y

divide boths dies by 2

(x-1)/2=2y/y

\frac{x-1}{2} =\frac{2y}{2} \\y=\frac{x-1}{2}

let this last equation h(x)= inverse of f(x)

h(x)=\frac{x-1}{2}\\h(x)=\frac{x}{2}-\frac{1}{2}

Have a great day

Write a simplified polynomial expression in standard form to represent the area of the rectangle below. (2 points) A picture of
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Area= 5x^2-18x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the rectangle show one side of length 5 x +2, and another side of length x - 4, then the area of this rectangle (given by the product of the sides' length) is:

Area = (5x+2)\,(x-4)\\Area = 5x^2-20x+2x-8\\Area= 5x^2-18x -8

which is already written in standard form.

Quadrilateral ABCD is similiar to quadrilateral EFGH. The lengths of the three longest sides in quadrilateral ABCD are 20 feet,
Anika [276]

Answer:

7.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The third longest side is also the second shortest side.

The 14 ft side of quadrilateral ABCD corresponds to the 6 ft side of quadrilateral EFGH.

14/6 = 18/x

7/3 = 18/x

7x = 18 * 3

7x = 54

x = 54/7

x = 7.7

Answer: D. 7.7 feet

James surveyed people at school and asked whether they bring their lunch to school or buy their lunch at school more often. The
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Bring lunch : 46 males, 254 females

Buy lunch   : 176 males, 264 females

Total number of peoples is

46+254+176+264=740

Total number of males is

46+176=222

The probability of male is

P(Male)=\frac{Males}{Total}=\frac{222}{740} =0.3

Since probability of males is 0.3, therefore options A and C are incorrect.

Total number of persons who buys lunch is

176+264=440

The probability of persons who buys lunch is

P(\text{Buys lunch})=\frac{\text{Buys lunch}}{Total}=\frac{440}{740} =\frac{22}{37}

We need to find the probability of P(male | buys lunch).

According to the conditional probability, we get

P(\frac{A}{B})=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

P(male | buys lunch)=\frac{P(\text{male }\cap \text{ buys lunch})}{P(\text{buys lunch})}

P(male | buys lunch)=\frac{\frac{176}{740}}{\frac{22}{37}}

P(male | buys lunch)=\frac{2}{5}=0.4

Therefore the correct option is 4.
