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

Mathematics
1 answer:
OlgaM077 [116]3 years ago
5 0

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)

Which statement explains how the lines 2x + y = 4 and y = one halfx + 4 are related?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

They are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem .

we will convert the equations in slope intercept form.

Slope intercept  form of equation is y = mx+c

where m is slope of line and c is y intercept.

________________________________

equation 1 is

2x+y = 4

=> y =4 - 2x or y = -2x + 4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = -2  , c = 4

_________________________________________

equation 2 is y = one halfx + 4 ( one half is same as 1/2)

so equation is

y = x/2 +4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = 1/2  , c = 4

_________________________________________

Now lets evaluate options

They are parallel.  wrong option

For lines to be parallel slope should be same.

But here slope are different -2 and 1/2 .

Thus lines are not parallel.

__________________________________________

They are perpendicular.  correct option

For lines to be perpendicular, product of slope should be equal to -1.

-2*1/2 = -1

we can see that product of slope should be equal to -1 .

Thus lines are  perpendicular

______________________________________

They are the same line.  wrong option

For lines to be same both slope and y intercept should  be same.

Y intercept is same but the slopes are different -2 and 1/2  .

Thus lines are not  the same line.

__________________________________________

They are not related.       wrong option

As we have found that the lines are perpendicular .

So this option is intuitively wrong
