28.80 + .20X = X

.20X = X - 28.80

1/5 = .20

X/5 = X -28.80

X = 5X - 144

Set the new X equal to the original X

28.80 + .20X = 5X - 144

172.8 + .20X = 5X

172.8 = 4.8X

36 = X

36$ is the original price

To check,

28.80 + (.20 x 36) = 36

28.80 + 7.2 = 36

36 = 36

Lf f(x) = 5x, what is f^-1(x)?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition the domain of an inverse function f^-1(x) is the range of f(x) and the range of the inverse function is equal to the domain of the principal function f(x).

If you have a function f(x)=5x, then to find the inverse function, follow these steps:

1. Make y=f(x)

 f(x)=y=5x

 y=5x

2. Solve for the variable "x":

x=\frac{y}{5}

3. Exchange the variable "x" with the variable "y":

y=\frac{x}{5}

4. Exchange "y" withf^{-1}(x). Then the inverse function is:

f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x}{5}

A car has mass 1500 kg and is traveling at a speed of 35 miles/hour. what is its kinetic energy in joules? (Be sure to convert m
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Factor by which kinetic energy increase = 4 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

  • Mass of the car, v1 = 1500 kg
  • initial speed of car = 35 miles/h

                               =\dfrac{35\times 1609.34}{3600}\ m/s

                               = 15.64 m/s

Initial kinetic energy of the car is given by,

k_1\ =\ \dfrac{1}{2}.m.v_1^2

       =\ \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1500\times (15.64)^2\ joule

       = 183606.46 J

  • Final velocity of car v2 = 70 miles/hour

                                      =\dfrac{70\times 1609.34}{3600}

                                      = 31.29 m/s

So, final kinetic energy of car is given by

k_2\ =\ \dfrac{1}{2}.m.v_2^2

        =\ \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1500\times (31.29)^2

        = 734425.84 J

Now, the ratio of final to initial kinetic energy can be given by,

\dfrac{k_2}{k_1}=\ \dfrac{734425.84}{183606.46}

=>\ k_2\ =\ 4k_1                      

Hence, the kinetic energy will increase by 4 times.
