Answer:
y = lnx/ln12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function y = 12^x, to find the inverse of the function, we news to write x as a function of y as shown:
Given y = 12^x
Taking ln of both sides
ln y = ln 12^x
ln y = xln12
Divide both sides by ln12
lny/ln12 = xln12/ln12
x = lny/ln12
x = ln(y-12)
Replacing y with x and x with y
The inverse of the function will be:
y = lnx/ln12
What are the measurements?
Answer:
Ramon's mistake was that he used whole numbers in comparison to decimals, which is not an accurate way to solve. Think about it this way, 0.1 is the tens place, 0.01 is the hundreds place. Which would be greater 100% of the time? The hundreds place, in decimal terms, the hundredths.
0.09 is greater than 0.1
1- Solution using graphs:Take a look at the attached images.
The red graph represents the first given function while the blue graph represents the second given function.
We can note that the two graphs are the same line (they overlap).
This means that any chosen point on one of them will satisfy the other.
This means that there are infinite number of solutions to these two equations.
2- Solution using substitution:The first given equation is:
y = -5x + 3 ...........> equation I
The second given equation is:
2y + 10x = 6 ...........> equation II
Substitute with I in II and solve as follows:
2(-5x+3) + 10x = 6
-10x + 6 + 10x = 6
0 = 0
This means that there are infinitely many solutions to the given system of equations.
Hope this helps :)
