41/2 + 2 3/8 can be written 4 4/8 + 2 3/8. We now have a common denominator.
Answer is 6 7/8.
Or convert everything to 1/8s

4 1/2 = 36/8 2 3/8 = 19/8 Both vulgar fractions
Add.

36/8 + 19/8 = 55/8 Convert by dividing by 8
Answer = 6 7/8

If f(x)=log2(x+4), what is f^-1(3)?

zalisa [80]

$f\left( x \right) =\log _{ 2 }{ \left( x+4 \right) } \\ \\ \log _{ 2 }{ \left( x+4 \right) } =y\\ \\ { 2 }^{ y }=x+4$

$\\ \\ x={ 2 }^{ y }-4\\ \\ \therefore \quad { f }^{ -1 }\left( x \right) ={ 2 }^{ x }-4\\ \\ \therefore \quad { f }^{ -1 }\left( 3 \right) ={ 2 }^{ 3 }-4=4$

If f(x, y)=xy−x^2, what is the value of f(f(−2, 3), −4)? Explain your reasoning.

hjlf

$\bf f(x,y)=xy-x^2 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ f(\stackrel{x}{-2},\stackrel{y}{3})=(-2)(3)-(-2)^2\implies f(-2,3)=-6-(4)\implies f(-2,3)=-10 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ f(~~\underline{f(-2,3)},~~-4)\implies f(\stackrel{x}{\underline{-10}},\stackrel{y}{-4})=(-10)(-4)-(-10)^2 \\\\\\ f(-10,-4)=40-(100)\implies f(-10,-4)=-60$
