Answer:

$\large\boxed{1.\ f^{-1}(x)=3\log_5x}\\\boxed{2.\ f^{-1}(x)=\log_6(-x)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\log_ab=c\iff c=a^b\\\\\log_aa^n=n\\---------------------\\\\1.\\y=5^{\frac{x}{3}}\\\\\text{Exchange x and y}\\\\5^\frac{y}{3}=x\\\\\text{Solve for y:}\\\\5^\frac{y}{3}=x\qquad\log_5\text{of both sides}\\\\\log_55^\frac{y}{3}=\log_5x\Rightarrow\dfrac{y}{3}=\log_5x\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\\\y=3\log_5x\\---------------$

$2.\\y=-6^x\\\\\text{Exchange x and y:}\\\\-6^y=x\\\\\text{Solve for y:}\\\\-6^y=x\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\6^y=-x\qquad\log_6\ \text{of both sides}\\\\\log_66^y=\log_6(-x)\Rightarrow y=\log_6(-x)$

A quadrilateral has vertices at $(0,1)$, $(3,4)$, $(4,3)$ and $(3,0)$. Its perimeter can be expressed in the form $a\sqrt2+b\sqr

seraphim [82]

Answer:

a + b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadrilateral;

Vertices of (0,1), (3,4) (4,3) and (3,0)

$Perimeter = a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10}$

Required

$a + b$

Let the vertices be represented with A,B,C,D such as

A = (0,1); B = (3,4); C = (4,3) and D = (3,0)

To calculate the actual perimeter, we need to first calculate the distance between the points;

Such that:

AB represents distance between point A and B

BC represents distance between point B and C

CD represents distance between point C and D

DA represents distance between point D and A

Calculating AB

Here, we consider A = (0,1); B = (3,4);

Distance is calculated as;

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$(x_1,y_1) = A(0,1)$

$(x_2,y_2) = B(3,4)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{(0 - 3)^2 + (1 - 4)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{( - 3)^2 + (-3)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{9+ 9}$

$AB = \sqrt{18}$

$AB = \sqrt{9*2}$

$AB = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{2}$

$AB = 3\sqrt{2}$

Calculating BC

Here, we consider B = (3,4); C = (4,3)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = B (3,4)$

$(x_2,y_2) = C(4,3)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{(3 - 4)^2 + (4 - 3)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (1)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{1 + 1}$

$BC = \sqrt{2}$

Calculating CD

Here, we consider C = (4,3); D = (3,0)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = C(4,3)$

$(x_2,y_2) = D (3,0)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{(4 - 3)^2 + (3 - 0)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (3)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{1 + 9}$

$CD = \sqrt{10}$

Lastly;

Calculating DA

Here, we consider C = (4,3); D = (3,0)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = D (3,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = A (0,1)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{(3 - 0)^2 + (0 - 1)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (- 1)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{9 + 1}$

$DA = \sqrt{10}$

The addition of the values of distances AB, BC, CD and DA gives the perimeter of the quadrilateral

$Perimeter = 3\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{10}$

$Perimeter = 4\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{10}$

Recall that

$Perimeter = a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10}$

This implies that

$a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10} = 4\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{10}$

By comparison

$a\sqrt{2} = 4\sqrt{2}$

Divide both sides by $\sqrt{2}$

$a = 4$

By comparison

$b\sqrt{10} = 2\sqrt{10}$

Divide both sides by $\sqrt{10}$

$b = 2$

Hence,

a + b = 2 + 10

a + b = 12

Kevin and randy muise have a jar containing 87 coins, all of which are either quarters or nickels. the total value of the coins

boyakko [2]

Let x be the amount of nickels and y be the amount of quarters in a jar. Totally there are 87 coins, then x+y=87.

Since nickel is 5 cent coin and quarter is 25 cent coin, then 5x+25y=1255 ($12.55=1255 cents). Solve this system:x=87-y and 5(87-y)+25y=1255.
435-5y+25y=1255,
25y-5y=1255-435,

20y=820,
y=820÷20,
y=41,
x=87-41=46.
Answer: 46 nickels and 41 quarters.

What is the equation that passes through the points (5,2) and has a slope of 3

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

y=3x-13

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write your equation: y=3x+b. Plug in your ordered pair to the equation, it should look like this: 2=3(5)+b. 3 times 5 equals 15. This is what your equation should look like: 2=15+b. Subtract 15 from both sides to get -13 as your y-intercept. Go back to your original equation and plug in -13 to b. This is your final equation: y=3x-13. Hope this helped!
