What is the inverse of this function?

Andreas93 [3]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = y = -1/2 × sqrt(x + 3), x >= -3

-2y = sqrt(x + 3)

4y² = x + 3

x = 4y² - 3

and now we need to rename x to y and y to x to make it a "normal" function :

y = 4x² - 3

since in the original function x >= -3, this gave us y <=0.

and therefore (remember the x of the inverse function actually stands for the y of the original function) the limit for the inverse function is x <= 0.

so, again, the full answer is

f^-1(x) = 4x² - 3, x <= 0

Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given system. (-2,-4) {y=1/2x -3, y=-2x-8}

kompoz [17]

Answer:

The ordered pair $(-2,\, -4)$ is indeed a solution to the system:

$\left\lbrace\begin{aligned} & y = \frac{1}{2}\, x - 3 \\ & y = -2\, x - 8\end{aligned}\right.$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a system of equations about variables $x$ and $y$ . An ordered pair $(x_{0},\, y_{0})$ (where $x_{0}$ and $y_{0}$ are constant) is a solution to that system if and only if all equations in that system hold after substituting in $x = x_{0}$ and $y = y_{0}$ .

For the system in this question, $(-2,\, -4)$ would be a solution only if both equations in the system hold after replacing all $x$ in equations of the system with $(-2)$ and all $y$ with $(-4)$ .

The $\texttt{LHS}$ of the equation $y = (1/2)\, x - 3$ would become $(-4)$ . The $\texttt{RHS}$ of that equation would become $(1/2) \, (-2) - 3$ . The two sides are indeed equal.

Similarly, the $\texttt{LHS}$ of the equation $y = -2\, x - 8$ would become $(-4)$ . The $\texttt{RHS}$ of that equation would become $(-2)\, (-2) - 8$ . The two sides are indeed equal.

Thus, $x = (-2)$ and $y = (-4)$ simultaneously satisfy both equations of the given system. Therefore, the ordered pair $(-2,\, -4)$ would indeed be a solution to that system.
