What is the inverse of f(x) = x/5 -2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

y= 5x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse basically means y is now x and x is now y.

y= x/5 -2 becomes x= y/5 -2

Remember to always leave your equation f(x) = ...

i.e. y =...

x= y/5 -2

add 2 both sides

x+2 = y/5

multiply 5 both sides

5(x+2) = y

Hence,

y= 5x + 10

Hope this helps!

Please mark brainliest if you think I helped! Would really appreciate!

A bathtub is draining at a constant rate. After 2 minutes, it holds 30 gallons of water. Three minutes later, it holds 12 gallon
aliya0001 [1]
Let x, represent the number of minutes and y represents the number of gallons of water in the tub, then the ordered pairs (2, 30) and (5, 12) satisfies the equation.

Therefore the equation is given by: (y - 30)/(x - 2) = (12 - 30)/(5 - 2)
(y - 30)/(x - 2) = -18/3 x = -6
y - 30 =  -6(x - 2) = -6x + 12
y = -6x + 42

Required equation is y + 6x = 42.

the length of a rectangular building is 6 feet less than 3 times t he width. The perimeter is 120 feet. Find the width and the l
garri49 [273]
Call the width x.  Note that the length is 3x-6.  We know that double the width plus double the length is 120, so we write an equation:

2(x)+2(3x-6)=120
2x+6x-12=120
8x-12=120
8x=132
x=16.5
If x is 16.5, the width is 16.5, and the length is 3 \cdot 16.5 - 6 = 43.5.

Write the ratio in fractional notation in lowest terms. 28 inches to 42 inches
ivolga24 [154]

28 to 42 means 28/42

We now reduce 28/42 to lowest terms.

28 ÷ 7 = 4

42 ÷ 7 = 6

We now have 4/6.

We now reduce 4/6.

4 ÷ 2 = 2

6 ÷ 2 = 3

Final answer: 2/3

Please please helpp i will mark brainliest!!! 100 points !! ill mark brainliest if its correct.

Answers and Step-by-step explanations:

1. We need to plug in values of x into the functions f(x) and g(x):

f(2) = 2.5 * 2 - 10.5 = -5.5                         g(2) = 64 * (0.5^2) = 16

f(3) = 2.5 * 3 - 10.5 = -3                            g(3) = 64 * (0.5^3) = 8

f(4) = 2.5 * 4 - 10.5 = -0.5                         g(4) = 64 * (0.5^4) = 4

f(5) = 2.5 * 5 - 10.5 = 2                             g(5) = 64 * (0.5^5) = 2

f(6) = 2.5 * 6 - 10.5 = 4.5                          g(6) = 64 * (0.5^6) = 1

2.

(a) Notice that at 14 on the x-axis, the blue line is above 4. Meanwhile, at 14, the red line is less than 2. Obviously, we can see that if the printed ad revenue was less than 2 and the online ad revenue was greater than 4, that's more than a double, so the lead marketing executive is correct.

(b) The approximate year that the revenues were equal is the place where the lines intersect. It's approximately at Year 7.5.

3.

(a) The Western Beach is clearly decreasing; it is decreasing by 2 ft per year. Meanwhile, the Dunes Beach is clearly increasing; it's increasing by 5 ft per year. (I'm not sure what kinds of "patterns" you're looking for).

(b) Year 11 and 12; this is because here, Western is going from 78 to 76 ft and Dunes is going from 75 to 80, so they'll likely coincide sometime in that time interval.

(c) One thing you can do is to create equations (of the form y = mx + b) for each of the beaches and then set those linear equations equal to each other.
