Answer:

The 8th number is -9

Step-by-step explanation:

With an average, the sum of the seven numbers divided by 7 is 15.

In order to add an 8th number, we set up

\frac{7*15+x}{8}=12\\105 + x = 96\\x = -9\\\\\frac{105-9}{8}=\frac{96}{8}=12

The function f is such that f(x)=4x-1 find f^-1(x)
zvonat [6]
Let y=4x-1
The inverse is basically expressing x in terms of y.
y=4x-1  =>
y+1=4x
x=(y+1)/4
Since the inverse is still a function of x, we only have to interchange x and y
inverse of f(x) = f^-1(x) = (x+1)/4

Answer:

<h2>z = 6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

4(z+1)=2(z-1)+18\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\(4)(z)+(4)(1)=(2)(z)+(2)(-1)+18\\\\4z+4=2z-2+18\qquad\text{subtract 4 and}\ 2z\ \text{from both sides}\\\\4z-2z+4-4=2z-2z-2+18-4\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\2z=12\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\z=6
