Answer:

t= 3.1 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A = A_0 e kt

Half life(1/2) = 26 yrs

1/2 = 1_0 e^k.26

ln(1/2) = ln(e^26k)

26k. ln(e) = ln(1/2)

k = 1/26* ln(1/2)

k = -0.0267

A = A_0 e^kt

0.92 = 1.e^(-0.0267)t

ln(0.92) = ln(e^(-0.0267)t

-0.0267t .ln(e) = ln(0.92)

t = ln(0.92) / -0.0267

t = 3.122

t = 3.1years (approximate to 1 d.p)

Find the inverse of the function f(x)=5x-6/x+2
Naily [24]

Answer:

  f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{2x+6}{5-x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Swap x and y, then solve for y.

x=\dfrac{5y-6}{y+2}\\\\x(y+2)=5y-6\\\\xy+2x=5y-6\\\\2x+6=5y-xy\\\\y=\dfrac{2x+6}{5-x}\\\\f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{2x+6}{5-x}
