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.

Answer: Bottom left corner

Angle DEC and Angle DEH

=============================================================

Explanation:

I recommend opening your favorite paint program, and using different colors to mark on the drawing as I have done below (see attached image). Note how angle DEC is in red and angle DEH is in blue. The two angles are adjacent, meaning they share the same ray (in this case, ray ED) and they form a straight angle.

Because they form a straight angle, or straight line, this means the two angles are supplementary. Supplementary angles always add to 180.

How do you Simplify this expression in algebra?<br><br> 9x + 2x (5 + 4) - 2(5x + 4x)
Minchanka [31]

One can solve this by first using order of operations, and then combining like terms.


First is parenthesis


9x + 2x(9) - 2(9x)


Now we do the multiplication


9x + 18x - 18x


Now we combine like terms


9x
