To determine whether the inverse of a function is a function you can perform the horizontal line test.

Mathematics

Answer:

\boxed{\text{TRUE}}

Step-by-step explanation:

If a horizontal line intersects the graph of a function in all places at exactly one point (the horizontal line test), the inverse of the function is also a function.

For example, the inverse of a hyperbola (like ƒ(x) =1/x) is a function, because every horizontal line intersects with the graph at exactly one point.

However, the inverse of a parabola (like ƒ(x) = x²) is not a function, because a horizontal line intersects with the graph at two points.

Explain the steps to finding the vertex of g(x) = 3x2 + 12x + 15
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The vertex of this parabola, (-2, 3), can be found by completing the square.

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal is to express this parabola in its vertex form:

g(x) = a\, (x - h)^2 + k,

where a, h, and k are constants. Once these three constants were found, it can be concluded that the vertex of this parabola is at (h,\, k).

The vertex form can be expanded to obtain:

\begin{aligned}g(x)&= a\, (x - h)^2 + k \\ &= a\, \left(x^2 - 2\, x\, h + h^2\right) + k = a\, x^2 - 2\, a\, h\, x + \left(a\,h^2 + k\right)\end{aligned}.

Compare that expression with the given equation of this parabola. The constant term, the coefficient for x, and the coefficient for x^2 should all match accordingly. That is:

\left\lbrace\begin{aligned}& a = 3 \\ & -2\,a\, h = 12 \\& a\, h^2 + k = 15\end{aligned}\right..

The first equation implies that a is equal to 3. Hence, replace the "a\!" in the second equation with 3\! to eliminate \! a:

(-2\times 3)\, h = 12.

h = -2.

Similarly, replace the "a" and the "h" in the third equation with 3 and (-2), respectively:

3 \times (-2)^2 + k = 15.

k = 3.

Therefore, g(x) = 3\, x^2 + 12\, x + 15 would be equivalent to g(x) = 3\, (x - (-2))^2 + 3. The vertex of this parabola would thus be:

\begin{aligned}&(-2, \, 3)\\ &\phantom{(}\uparrow \phantom{,\,} \uparrow \phantom{)} \\ &\phantom{(}\; h \phantom{,\,} \;\;k\end{aligned}.

67. The line contains the point (4,0) and is parallel<br> to the line defined by 3x = 2y.
olganol [36]

Answer:

y=\frac{3}{2} x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>What we need to know:</u>

  • Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:
  • y=mx+b where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)
  • Parallel lines will always have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

<u>1) Determine the slope of the parallel line</u>

Organize 3x = 2y into slope-intercept form. Why? So we can easily identify the slope, m.

3x = 2y

Switch the sides

2y=3x

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y

\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{3}{2} x\\y=\frac{3}{2} x

Now that this equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily identify that \frac{3}{2} is in the place of m. Therefore, because parallel lines have the same slope, the parallel line we're solving for now will also have the slope \frac{3}{2} . Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=\frac{3}{2} x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept</u>

y=\frac{3}{2} x+b

Plug in the given point, (4,0)

0=\frac{3}{2} (4)+b\\0=6+b

Subtract both sides by 6

0-6=6+b-6\\-6=b

Therefore, -6 is the y-intercept of the line. Plug this into y=\frac{3}{2} x+b as b:

y=\frac{3}{2} x-6

I hope this helps!

Solve 2x+y=10<br> 4x+7=40
WITCHER [35]
2x + y = 10 is y = -2x + 10
4x + 7 = 40
     -7       -7
4x = 33
4      4
x = 8.25 
y = -2(8.25) + 10 
y = -6.5 and x = 8.25

 Hope this helps :)

I'm stuck. what do i do next??
Aneli [31]
Here is your solution,
(-5)^2 - √25 - 4 x (-14)/2
25 - √ 25 + 56/2
25 - √81/2
(25 - 9)/2 = 16/2 = 8

or
25 + √25 +56/2
25 + √81/2
(25 + 9)/2 = 34/2 = 17

So m = 8,17
