. Find the inverse of the function below on the given interval and write it in the form yequalsf Superscript negative 1 Baseline

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The inverse of the function is $f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-5}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The function provided is:

$f (x)=3x+5$

Let $f(x)=y$ .

Then the value of <em>x</em> is:

$y=3x+5\\\\3x=y-5\\\\x=\frac{y-5}{3}$

For the inverse of the function, $x\rightarrow y$ .

⇒ $f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-5}{3}$

Compute the value of $f[f^{-1}(x)]$ as follows:

$f[f^{-1}(x)]=f[\frac{x-5}{3}]$

$=3[\frac{x-5}{3}]+5\\\\=x-5+5\\\\=x$

Hence proved that $f[f^{-1}(x)]=x$ .

Compute the value of $f^{-1}[f(x)]$ as follows:

$f^{-1}[f(x)]=f^{-1}[3x+5]$

$=\frac{(3x+5)-5}{3}\\\\=\frac{3x+5-5}{3}\\\\=x$

Hence proved that $f^{-1}[f(x)]=x$ .

Use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient <br> 252÷3

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The value of the given expression is 84.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$\frac{252}{3}$

The number 252 can be written as 240+12, because 24 can easily divisible by 3.

The compatible numbers are 240 and 12

$\frac{252}{3}=\frac{240+12}{3}$

$\frac{252}{3}=\frac{240}{3}+\frac{12}{3}$

$\frac{252}{3}=80+4$

$\frac{252}{3}=84$

Therefore the value of the given expression is 84.

recycling one metric ton of corrugated cardboard will sAVE ABOUT 17 TREES. a WAREHOUSE RECYCLED 14,327 KILOGRAMS OF CORRUGATED C

slega [8]

1 kg = 0.001 metric tons..so 14327 kg = (14327 * 0.001) = 14.327 metric tons
and if 1 metric tons saves 17 trees....then 14.327 tons saves : 14.327 * 17 = 243.559 saved trees...and since u cant have 0.559 trees, u would round to 243 trees
