Answer:

x = 6, -8

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x - 6)(x + 8) = 0, that would imply that either (x - 6) or (x + 8) would equal zero. Using this, we can find that solving the two equations:

x - 6 = 0

and

x + 8 = 0

would yield the two solutions to the equation.

x - 6 = 0

Add 6 to both sides of the equation.

x = 6

So one of the solutions would be x = 6.

x + 8 = 0

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.

x = -8

So the other solution would be x = -8.

The two solutions are x = 6 and x = -8.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

Consider the function f(x) = √5x + 15 for the domain [-3, ∞).Find f-¹(x), where f-1 is the inverse of f.Also state the domain of

Ymorist [56]

Answer: We have to find the inverse function of the following:

$f(x)=\sqrt{5x+15}\rightarrow[-3,\infty)\Rightarrow(1)$

The Inverse of the (1) is as follows:

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=y=\sqrt{5x+15} \\ \\ \text{ Switch: }x\text{ and }y\text{ and solve for }y(x)\text{ } \\ \\ \\ y=\sqrt{5x+15}\rightarrow x=\sqrt{5y+15} \\ \\ \\ x^2=5y+15 \\ \\ \\ x^2-15=5y \\ \\ \\ y=\frac{x^2}{5}-\frac{15}{5} \\ \\ \\ \\ y=f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x^2}{5}-3 \\ \\ \\ f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x^{2}}{5}-3 \end{gathered}$

The domain of the inverse function is:

$x\in(-\infty,+\infty)$

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Slope-intercept equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplest form of the equation of the line is the slope-intercept form which is y = mx + b.

Where 'm' represents the slope and 'b' represents the y-intercept of the line.

Whats the sum of 2/5 and 2/4

Savatey [412]

Hey there!

Simplify 1/2

2/5+1/2.

Then, simplify 2/5

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\boxed{ \frac{L. \ Multi. \ * L. \ Num}{L.C.M}}= \frac{2*2}{10} \end{array}\right]$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \frac{2*2+5}{10} = \frac{9}{10}}} \\ \\ 9/10 \ would \ be \ your \ answer!$

I Hope this helps you!
