Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The last (fourth) graph is that of the parent function y = √x. The negative sign in front of √x leads to reflection of this parent function graph in the x-axis. Thus, the correct graph of f(x) = -√x is the first one.
The inverse of this function is f(x) = 2x - 12.
You can find the inverse of any function by switching the f(x) and x values in the equation. Then you can solve for the new f(x) value. The result is your inverse function. The work for this one is below.
f(x) = 1/2x + 6 ----> switch f(x) and x
x = 1/2f(x) + 6 ----> subtract 6
x - 6 = 1/2f(x) ----> multiply by 2
2x - 12 = f(x) ----> change the order for consistency.
f(x) = 2x - 12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation of a parallel line, we first need to find the slope of 3y + 7 = 2x.
We need to find it because, if two lines are parallel, then that means they have the same slope.
The best way to do this is solve for y:

Due to the rule that in y = mx + b, m = the slope, we find that the slope is 2/3.
Now we use that slope in the same formula to find b of the line we're trying to find the equation for, and then we'll have our answer. We find b by plugging in (2, 6) for x and y:

So our line is:
