What is the inverse function of d(x) = 2x - 4?

Mathematics
1 answer:
zysi [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

d^{-1}(x) = \frac{x+4}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

let d(x) = y and rearrange making x the subject, that is

2x - 4 = y ( add 4 to both sides )

2x = y + 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = \frac{y+4}{2}

Change y back into terms of x, so

d^{-1}(x ) = \frac{x+4}{2}

Antonio is a biologist studying life in a pond. He needs to know how deep the water is. He notices a water lily sticking straigh
quester [9]
For this problem we can represent the situation as a rectangle triangle.
 x: depth of water.
 40: Base. "Antonio pulls the lily to one side, keeping the stem straight, until the blossom touches the water at a spot"
 x + 8: Hypotenuse. "He notices water lily sticking straight up from the water, whose blossom is 8 cm above the water's surface." Antonio pulls the lily to one side, keeping the stem straight, until the blossom touches the water at a spot".
 By the Pythagorean theorem we have:
 x ^ 2 + 40 ^ 2 = (x + 8) ^ 2
 Clearing x:
 x ^ 2 + 1600 = x ^ 2 + 16x + 64
 x ^ 2 - x ^ 2 = 16x + 64 - 1600
 0 = 16x -1536
 1536 = 16x
 1536/16 = x
 x = 96
 answer:
 1) x ^ 2 + 40 ^ 2 = (x + 8) ^ 2
 2) the depth of the water is
 x = 96

Need help on this question too hard :((​
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the fractions to decimals.

2/3 = 0.666

4/5 = 0.8

14/18 = 0.777

34/50 = 0.68

From the decimals, 0.666 is the only option which falls between 0.5 and 0.75.

A radioactive substance decays exponentially: The mass at time t is m(t) = m(0)ekt, where m(0) is the initial mass and k is a ne
velikii [3]

Answer:

M = 1/0.000121 = 8264.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

M = − k ∫∞₀ teᵏᵗdt

To obtain this mean life, we'll use integration by parts to integrate the function ∫ teᵏᵗdt

∫udv = uv - ∫ vdu

u = t

du/dt = 1

du = dt

∫ dv = ∫ eᵏᵗdt

v = eᵏᵗ/k

∫udv = ∫ teᵏᵗdt

uv = teᵏᵗ/k

∫ vdu = eᵏᵗ/k

∫ teᵏᵗdt = (teᵏᵗ/k) - ∫eᵏᵗ/k

But, ∫eᵏᵗ/k = (1/k) ∫eᵏᵗ = (1/k²) eᵏᵗ = eᵏᵗ/k²

∫ teᵏᵗdt = (teᵏᵗ/k) - eᵏᵗ/k²

The yellow rose taxi service charges $1.75 per passenger and $2.25 per mile for a ride . How much will the yellow rose taxi serv
Ann [662]

Answer:

$40.50 for the miles and 1.75 x P (passangers)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $2.25 is the fee for miles, 2.25 x 18 = $40.50

and since it depends on the group, ima say its probably 3, the passenger fee would be $5.25

that would add up to about $45.75

but if there is a different amount of passengers, just multiply it by $1.75 then add it to $40.50!
