12.9 = x + 7.1
subtract 7.1 from both sides to isolate the variable, x.
5.8 = x
5.8 is your answer.
The function is :
y = √(x-12), x≥12
To find the inverse function, we interchange x and y, and then make y the subject again.
So interchanging x and y we have:
x = √(y-12)
Squaring both sides gives;
x² = y-12
Now making y the subject we have,
y = x² +12
x≥0.
Therefore the inverse function is;
y = x² +12, x≥0.
Hence the correct answer is C.
(A) The customer that owns a 3-kW system exports 120 kWh monthly to the grid will have the following bills for both companies:
For ZG&E that collects $3 per kWh on a monthly basis, the monthly bill will be

For Ready Edison that collects $0.06 per kWh exported energy monthly, the computation of bill will be

(B) The customer that owns a 5-kW system exports 300 kWh monthly to the grid will have the following bills for both companies:
For ZG&E that collects $3 per kWh on a monthly basis, the monthly bill will be

For Ready Edison that collects $0.06 per kWh exported energy monthly, the computation of bill will be
The given equation is:
t = 7 + 5q
where:
t is the total number of points
q is the questions answered correctly
We are given that the total of correct answers is 6 and we want to find the total number of points. Therefore, all we have to do is substitute with the number of answers in the given equation to get the total points as follows:
t = 7 + 5q
t = 7 + 5(6)
t = 7 + 30
t = 37 points
