Answer:

${f}^{ - 1} (x)= \frac{x}{2} - 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x) = 2x + 4$ Let

$y = 2x + 4$

Interchange x and y.

$x = 2y + 4$

Solve for y,

$x - 4 = 2y$

Divide both sides by 2

$y = \frac{x}{2} - 2$

Therefore;

${f}^{ - 1} (x)= \frac{x}{2} - 2$

Write a word problem for the equation. 1/2 (x-4) = 1/3x + 2

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Half the age of Carlos four years ago is 2 years more than one-third his current age.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write a word problem for the equation.

$\frac{1}{2} (x - 4) = \frac{1}{3}x + 2$

Let x represent the present age of Carlos.

Four years ago, Carlos was x-4 years.

Half his age four years ago is ½(x-4)

Two years more than one-third his current age is ⅓x+2

Implicit Differentiation

The derivative of a constant is equal to 0

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Product Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [f(x)g(x)]=f'(x)g(x) + g'(x)f(x)$

Chain Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Quotient Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

-xy - 2y = -4

Rate of change of the tangent line at point (-1, 4)

Step 2: Differentiate Pt. 1

Find 1st Derivative

Implicit Differentiation [Product Rule/Basic Power Rule]: $-y - xy' - 2y' = 0$
[Algebra] Isolate y' terms: $-xy' - 2y' = y$
[Algebra] Factor y': $y'(-x - 2) = y$
[Algebra] Isolate y': $y' = \frac{y}{-x-2}$
[Algebra] Rewrite: $y' = \frac{-y}{x+2}$

Step 3: Find y

Define equation: $-xy - 2y = -4$
Factor y: $y(-x - 2) = -4$
Isolate y: $y = \frac{-4}{-x-2}$
Simplify: $y = \frac{4}{x+2}$

Step 4: Rewrite 1st Derivative

[Algebra] Substitute in y: $y' = \frac{-\frac{4}{x+2} }{x+2}$
[Algebra] Simplify: $y' = \frac{-4}{(x+2)^2}$

Step 5: Differentiate Pt. 2

Find 2nd Derivative

Differentiate [Quotient Rule/Basic Power Rule]: $y'' = \frac{0(x+2)^2 - 8 \cdot 2(x + 2) \cdot 1}{[(x + 2)^2]^2}$
[Derivative] Simplify: $y'' = \frac{8}{(x+2)^3}$

Step 6: Find Slope at Given Point

[Algebra] Substitute in x: $y''(-1) = \frac{8}{(-1+2)^3}$
[Algebra] Evaluate: $y''(-1) =8$
