I'm guessing you're given the function y(x)=2-x^3, and you're asked to find the inverse function y^{-1}(x). To do this, swap x and y, then solve for y:

x=2-y^3\implies y^3=2-x\implies y=(2-x)^{1/3}=\sqrt[3]{2-x}

so that the inverse function is

y^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3]{2-x}

Just to verify:

y(y^{-1}(x))=y(\sqrt[3]{2-x})=2-(\sqrt[3]{2-x})^3=2-(2-x)=x

y^{-1}(y(x))=y^{-1}(2-x^3)=\sqrt[3]{2-(2-x^3)}=\sqrt[3]{x^3}=x

But in case you're actually only interested in computing the square root, first we note that \sqrt x (the real-valued square root) is only defined as long as x\ge0. So \sqrt{-x^3} is defined as long as -x^3\ge0, or x^3\le0, or equivalently x\le0. Under this condition, we could write

\sqrt{-x^3}=\sqrt{-x\times x^2}=\sqrt{-x}\sqrt{x^2}

We can simplify this further, but we have to be careful. Suppose x=-1. Then x^2=(-1)^2=1. But we get the same result if x=1, since x^2=1^2=1. There are two possible values of x that given the same value of x^2, so to capture both of them, we take \sqrt{x^2}=|x|, the absolute value of x. Then

\sqrt{-x^3}=|x|\sqrt{-x}

We can't simplify the square root term further than this.

Solve for c in the scientific formula C=Wtc/1000
Troyanec [42]

C = Wtc/1000

1000C = Wtc

Wtc = 1000C

W = (1000C) / (tc)


This is assuming that C and c are not the same.

If they are the same, we have:


W = (1000) / t, provided ,that C and c are not equal to 0.

Adult tickets to a basketball game cost $5. Student tickets cost $1. A total of $3,169 was collected on the sale of 1,325 ticket
eimsori [14]

Answer:

461 adults and 864 students

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set-up a system of equations to find the number of adults. We know students and adults attended. We will let s be the number of students and a be the number of adults. Since 1,325 tickets were purchased, then s+a=1325.

We also know that a total of $3,169 was collected and adult tickets cost $5 each and students cost $1 each. We can write 1s+5a=3169.

We will solve by substituting one equation into the other. We first solve the first equation for s which is s=1325-a. Substitute s=1325-a into 1s+5a=3169. Simplify and isolate the variable a.

1(1325-a)+5a=3169

1325-a+5a=3169

1325+4a=3169

1325-1325+4a=3169-1325

4a=1844

a=461

This means that 461 adults attended and 864 students attended since 864+461=1325.

Ignore #11 and #13; just need help with #12. TYSM (18 point question)
zimovet [89]

Answer:

22.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

it's a right angle which equals 90°

which is 4 times as much as x

so i just divided 90 by 4

however since you are using formulas it would be written

90 ÷ 4 = x

The actual length of side t is 0.045 cm. Use the scale drawing to find the actual side length of w. A) 0.06 cm B) 0.075 cm C) 0.
Tems11 [23]

Answer: The answer is B 0.075 cm


Step-by-step explanation:

Since the drawings is a scale of the original you must use a proportion to solve the desired side. 0.045/.9=w/1.5;w=0.075.

Tammy is creating potpourri bowls using 40 bags of shredded bark and 20 bags of flower
Anni [7]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

She only has 20 bags of flower petals, so she cannot create more than that. Because 40 is divisible by 20, she can make 20 bowls.
