A ) This is a quadratic function:
y = a x² + b x + c
If the starting point is ( 0, 0 ) then c = 0
b ) The function is:  y = - 0.2 x² + 3.6 x
( with coefficients to the nearest tenth )
The graph is in the attachment.
c ) The roots:
x 1 = 0,
0.2 x = 3.6
x = 3.6 : 0.2 
x 2 = 18
d ) This is near the target  ( 17 m ) . So the pumpkin will hit near the target.

What is the 8th term of the sequence 1, 3, 9, 27, 81,... .
slega [8]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2187

Step-by-step explanation:

This geometric sequence has a first term of 1 and a common ratio of 3. Its general term can be written as ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1)

  an = 3^(n-1)

Then the 8th term is ...

  a8 = 3^(8-1) = 2187

Given f(x) = 4x^4 find f^-1(x) Then state whether f^-1(x) is a function.
sdas [7]

Answer:

  • f^{-1}(x)=\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{x}{4}}
  • f^{-1}(x) \quad\text{is not a function}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse function, solve for y:

x=f(y)\\\\x=4y^4\\\\\dfrac{x}{4}=y^4\\\\\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{x}{4}}=y\\\\f^{-1}(x)=\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{x}{4}}

f(x) is an even function, so f(-x) = f(x). Then the inverse relation is double-valued: for any given y, there can be either of two x-values that will give that result.

___

A function is single-valued. That means any given domain value maps to exactly one range value. The test of this is the "vertical line test." If a vertical line intersects the graph in more than one point, then that x-value maps to more than one y-value.

The horizontal line test is similar. It is used to determine whether a function has an inverse function. If a horizontal line intersects the graph in more than one place, the inverse relation is not a function.

__

Since the inverse relation for the given f(x) maps every x to two y-values, it is not a function. You can also tell this by the fact that f(x) is an even function, so does not pass the horizontal line test. When f(x) doesn't pass the horizontal line test, f^-1(x) cannot pass the vertical line test.

_____

The attached graph shows the inverse relation (called f₁(x)). It also shows a vertical line intersecting that graph in more than one place.

Brian was asked to write x72 as a product of 2 powers with the same base in 4 different ways, using only positive exponents.
Oksana_A [137]

The equivalent expression to the value given using the laws of indices is  {x}^{4(18)}

Evaluating the options given based on the laws of indices :

  • {x}^{8}. {x}^{9}  =  {x}^{8 + 9}  =  {x}^{17}
  • {x}^{35}. {x}^{47}  =  {x}^{35 + 47}  =  {x}^{82}
  • {x}^{4(18)}  =  {x}^{4 \times 18}  =  {x}^{72}
  • {x}^{24}. {x}^{3}  =  {x}^{24 + 3}  =  {x}^{27}

Therefore, the only expression which would give a correct way of representing {x}^{72} \: is \: {x}^{4(18)}
