Which statement describes the inverse of m(x) = x^2 – 17x?

Given:

The function is

m(x)=x^2-17x

To find:

The inverse of the given function.

Solution:

We have,

m(x)=x^2-17x

Substitute m(x)=y.

y=x^2-17x

Interchange x and y.

x=y^2-17y

Add square of half of coefficient of y , i.e., \left(\dfrac{-17}{2}\right)^2 on both sides,

x+\left(\dfrac{-17}{2}\right)^2=y^2-17y+\left(\dfrac{-17}{2}\right)^2

x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2=y^2-17y+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2

x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2=\left(y-\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2        [\because (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2]

Taking square root on both sides.

\sqrt{x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2}=y-\dfrac{17}{2}

Add \dfrac{17}{2} on both sides.

\sqrt{x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2}+\dfrac{17}{2}=y

Substitute y=m^{-1}(x).

m^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{x+(\dfrac{189}{4}})+\dfrac{17}{2}

We know that, negative term inside the root is not real number. So,

x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2\geq 0

x\geq -\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2

Therefore, the restricted domain is x\geq -\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2 and the inverse function is m^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{x+(\dfrac{189}{4}})+\dfrac{17}{2}.

Hence, option D is correct.

Note: In all the options square of \dfrac{17}{2} is missing in restricted domain.

How do I find the inverse of this problem?

\mathfrak{\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Inverse of real function.

Let's consider here, g(n) = y ,

so we get as,

y =  \sqrt[3]{ \frac{n - 1}{2} }

no, cubing the power both side we get as,

=>

{y}^{3}  =  \frac{n - 1}{2}

now,

2 {y}^{3}  = n - 1

so finally, we get as,

=>

n = 2 {y}^{3}  + 1

hence,here, n = inverse of the g(n) function.

so,

g^-1 (n) = 2y^3+1.

What conclusions can you draw from the distances that you recorded in question 7
mezya [45]

Answer:

If corresponding vertices on an image and a preimage are connected with line segments, the line segments are divided equally by the line of reflection. That is, the perpendicular distance from the line of reflection to either of the corresponding vertices is the same. Line  is a perpendicular bisector of the connecting line segments.

what is te discontinuity of the function f(x) = the quantity of x squared plus 6x plus 8 all over x plus 4?
seropon [69]

Answer:

A hole at x=-4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a fraction so we have to worry about division by zero.

The only time we will be dividing by 0 is when x+4 is 0.

Solving the equation

x+4=0 for x:

Subtract 4 on both sides:

x=-4

So there is either a vertical asymptote or a hole at x=-4.

These are the kinds of discontinuities we can have for a rational function.

If there is a hole at x=-4, then x=-4 will make the top zero and can be cancelled out after simplification.

If is is a vertical asymptote, x=-4 will make the top NOT zero.

Let's see what -4 for x in x^2+6x+8 gives us:

(-4)^2+6(-4)+8

16+-24+8

-8+8

0

Top and bottom are 0 when x=-4.

Let's see what happens after simplication.

We are going to factor a^2+bx+c if factorable by finding two numbers that multiply to be c and add up to be b.

So what 2 numbers together multiply to be 8 and add up to be 6.

I hoped you said 4 and 2 because (4)(2)=8 where 4+2=6.

\frac{x^2+6x+8}{x+4}=\frac{(x+4)(x+2)}{x+4}=x+2

We we able to cancel out that factor that was giving us x=-4 is a zero.  

Therefore there is a hole at x=-4.
