Answer: a) \frac{5}{2}x+10=f^{-1}(x)=g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

f(x)=\frac{2}{5}x-4

a.) Find the inverse of f(x) and name it g(x).

Let f(x) = y

So, it becomes

y=\frac{2}{5}x-4

Switching x to y , we get

x=\frac{2}{5}y-4

5x=2y-20\\\\5x+20=2y\\\\\frac{5x+20}{2}=y\\\\\frac{5}{2}x+10=y\\\\\frac{5}{2}x+10=f^{-1}(x)=g(x)

b) . Use composition to show that f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other.

\mathrm{For}\:f=\frac{2}{5}x-4\:\\\\\mathrm{substitute}\:x\:\mathrm{with}\:g\left(x\right)=\frac{5}{2}x+10\\\\=\frac{2}{5}\left(\frac{5}{2}x+10\right)-4\\\\=x

Similarly,

\mathrm{g\left(x\right)=\frac{5}{2}x+10,\:f\left(x\right)=\frac{2}{5}x-4,\:g\left(x\right)\circ \:f\left(x\right)}\\\\\mathrm{For}\:g=\frac{5}{2}x+10\:\mathrm{substitute}\:x\:\mathrm{with}\:f\left(x\right)=\frac{2}{5}x-4\\\\=\frac{5}{2}\left(\frac{2}{5}x-4\right)+10\\\\=x

so, both are inverses of each other.

c) Draw the graphs of f(x) and g(x) on the same coordinate plane.

As shown below in the graph , Since for inverse function we need an axis of symmetry i.e. y=x

And both f(x) and g(x) are symmetry to y=x.

∴ f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other.

the sum of three numbers is 79. The second number is 5 times the first, while the third is 16 more than the first. Find the numb
swat32
Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.

x + y + z = 79

x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first

Therefor,

x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79

1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x

x + 5x + x + 16 = 79

Add all like numbers:

7x + 16 = 79

To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.

7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63

To get x, divide both sides by 7

7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9

To check. Substitute x by 9.

x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79

9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.
