F^-1(x)= (x+7)/2
it's the inverse so adding is subtracting and multiplication is divison
Answer:
The least number of stamps required is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of 
cent stamps be 
and 
cent stamps be 
We have
The minimum number is obtained when more cent stamps are used
Here cannot be greater than 
since 
Substitute 
Not possible since is not a fraction
Substitute 
Not possible since is not a fraction
Substitute 
Possible
Hence minimum number of stamps is
I think it's $21.75 with tax
Answer:
2^4
Step-by-step explanation:
2*2*2*2
There are four 2's multiplied together
2 is the base and 4 is the exponent
2^4
They are algebraic symbols or known as unknown number. There is no true value for them. The value of algebraic symbols are based on equations
ie. 1+x = 2
First, we isolate the x by canceling the +1 FROM BOTH SIDES(Balance method) by -1 ON BOTH SIDES.
1+x-1 = 2-1
So we are left with the x on the left side, and a single number on the right side. Therefore, our calculation is complete.
x = 1
More complex cases would be
2y-3 = 45
First, we need to isolate the algebraic symbol, which is 2y (yx2) by +3 ON BOTH SIDES
2y-3+3 = 45+3
2y = 48
WE ARE NOT DONE! 2y=48 is still an equation. Therefore, to isolate the y, we need to divide BOTH SIDES by 2
2y/2 = 48/2
y = 24
There is no true or absolute or definite value for algebraic symbols like x,y,z,a,c,t,h,d etc. They are used to represent unknown numbers.
Hope this helped!
