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

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 ) = $\frac{x+4}{2}$

Someone told me the answer was 39?? Is this true? Why ? please help.

The problem has the equation:

f(x) = (3) ^ (x/2)

In order to get the average increase in the number of flowers being pollinated from day 4 to day 10, then we need to use the equation substituting x with 4 to 10

f(4) = 9
f(5) = 12.59
f(6) = 27
f(7) = 46.77
f(8) = 81
f(9) = 140.30
f(10) = 243

Then add all the values and divide it by 7
= 559.66 / 7
= 79.95

So the correct answer is 79.95

The table shows some of the values of a function of the form y=ax^2+bx+c which is the value of c, the constant, the constant for

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

$c=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $y=ax^2+bx+c$

To find: c

Solution:

At $x=4,y=48$ :

$48=16a+4b+c$ (i)

At $x=5,y=73$ :

$73=25a+5b+c$ (ii)

At $x=6,y=104$ :

$104=36a+6b+c$ (iii)

On subtracting (i) and (ii),

$25=9a+b$ (iv)

On subtracting (i) and (iii),

$56=20a+2b\\\\28=10a+b \,\,\,\,(v)$

On subtracting (iv) and (v),

$a=3$

Put a=3 in (iv)

$25=9(3)+b\\25=27+b\\25-27=b\\-2=b$

Put $a=3,b=-2$ in (iii)

$104=36(3)+6(-2)+c\\104=108-12+c\\104=96+c\\104-96=c\\8=c$

Katie wants to buy some popcorn for her family at the theater. Each small tub of popcorn costs $3 and each large tub of popcorn

Molodets [167]

For this case we propose a system of equations:

x: Represents the amount of small popcorn tubs

y: Represents the amount of large popcorn tubs

According to the data we have to:

$3x + 4y = 24$ (Spending all the money in your wallet)

$x + y = 7$ (Buying 7 popcorn tubs)

From the second equation we have:

$x = 7-y$

Substituting in the first equation:

$3 (7-y) + 4y = 24\\21-3y + 4y = 24\\21 + y = 24\\y = 24-21\\y = 3$

Thus, Katie can buy 3 large tubs of popcorn.

So:

$x = 7-3\\x = 4$

In addition, you can buy 4 small tubs of popcorn.

Answer:

3 large popcorn tubs.

4 small popcorn tubs.
