What is the inverse of the function? f(x) = 1/3x-5

Mathematics

Answer:

        -1

       f   (x) = -3(x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  in f(x) = 1/3x-5, replace f(x)= with y= as follows:  y = (1/3)x - 5

2) interchange x and y, obtaining:  x = (1/3)y - 5

3) solve this result for y:  (1/3)y = -x - 5, or -(x + 5).  Next, multiply both sides by                        3 to eliminate the fraction (1/3):  y = -3(x + 5)

4)  replace y with the symbol for "inverse of f(x);

        -1

       f   (x) = -3(x + 5)

1. In which quadrant or on which axis do each of the points (-2,4) , (3,-1) ,(-1,0), (1,2) and (-3,-5) lie? Verify your answer b
pashok25 [27]

Point (-2 , 4) lies in the 2nd quadrant

Point (3 , -1) lies in the 4th quadrant

Point (-1 , 0) lies on the negative part of the x-axis

Point (1 , 2) lies in the 1st quadrant

Point (-3 , -5) lies in the 3rd quadrant

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the signs of the coordinates in each quadrant

  • x and y coordinates are positive in the 1st quadrant
  • x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive in the 2nd quadrant
  • x and y coordinates are negative in the 3rd quadrant
  • x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative in the 4th quadrant
  • The general point on the positive part of x-axis is (x , 0), and on the negative part of x-axis is (-x , 0)
  • The general point on the positive part of y-axis is (0 , y), and on the negative part of y-axis is (0 , -y)

Now let us check the points

Point (-2 , 4) ⇒ red point

∵ x = -2 and y = 4

∵ x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive

∴ Point (-2 , 4) lies in the 2nd quadrant

Point (3 , -1) ⇒ blue point

∵ x = 3 and y = -1

∵ x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative

∴ Point (3 , -1) lies in the 4th quadrant

Point (-1 , 0) ⇒ green point

∵ x = -1 and y = 0

∵ x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is zero

∴ Point (-1 , 0) lies on the negative part of the x-axis

Point (1 , 2) ⇒ purple point

∵ x = 1 and y =2

∵ x and y coordinates are positive

∴ Point (1 , 2) lies in the 1st quadrant

Point (-3 , -5) ⇒ black point

∵ x = -3 and y = -5

∵ x and y coordinates are negative

∴ Point (-3 , -5) lies in the 3rd quadrant

Dirrens' oven only measures in degree Fahrenheit (°f).show that 200°C would be 392°F.
Ainat [17]

I think you shouldn't memorize any formula to solve it. But you should know that on the fahrenheit thermometer freezing point is 32 and the boiling point is 212. And in celcius, it is 0 and 100. So we can make the inference that changing 100 units in celcius corresponds to a change of 180 units in fahrenheit. Thus, we should ask that if celcius increase from 0 to 200, what would happen to fahrenheit.

Basic math:

While celcius increase 100, fahrenheit increase 180,

While celcius increase 200, fahreinheit increase 360.

And you shouldn't forget that fahrenheit's freezing point is 32.

32+increase(360)=392

Meredith invested $5,500 into an account that earned 5% interest per year. When she cashed out the investment to use it as a dow
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using I = PRT/100

where P = The principal amount invested = $5500

R = Rate of Interest =5%

T = Time (in years)

I = Interest = $7,739.05 - $5500 = $2239.05

Substituting the above values in the formula

I = PRT/100 becomes

2239.05 = 7,739.05 * 5 * t / 100 -------- Multiply 100 to both sides

2239.05 * 100 = 100 * 7739.05 * 5 * t / 100

223905 = 7739.05 * 5 * t

223905 = 38695.25t

Divide both sides by 38695.25t

223905/38695.25 = t

5.786369 = t

T = 5.79 (approximated)
