Answer:

The inverse is ±sqrt(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 -1

Exchange x and y

x = y^2 -1

Solve for y

Add 1 for each side

x+1 = y^2-1+1

x+1 = y^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt(x+1) = sqrt(y^2)

±sqrt(x+1) = y

The inverse is ±sqrt(x+1)

Answer:

f^-1(x) = sqrt(x + 1)

f^-1(x) = -sqrt(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x² - 1

x² = y + 1

x = +/- sqrt(y + 1)

Interswitch variables:

f^-1(x) = sqrt(x + 1)

f^-1(x) = -sqrt(x + 1)

Where sqrt: square root

10. simplify the rational expression by rationalizing the denominator.( 1 point ) 4√150/√189x

ddd [48]

Rationalizing the denominator, simply means "getting rid of that pesky root at the bottom", and we do so by simply multiplying it by something to take it out, of course, we multiply the bottom, we have to also multiply the top,

$\bf \cfrac{4\sqrt{150}}{\sqrt{189x}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{189x}}{\sqrt{189x}}\implies \cfrac{4\sqrt{150}\sqrt{189x}}{(\sqrt{189x})^2}\implies \cfrac{4\sqrt{(150)({189x})}}{189x}$

$\bf \cfrac{4\sqrt{28350x}}{189x}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
28350=2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 5\cdot 5\cdot 7\\
\qquad 2\cdot 3^2\cdot 3^2\cdot 5^2\cdot 7\\
\qquad 2\cdot (3^2)^2\cdot 5^2\cdot 7\\
\qquad 2\cdot (3^2\cdot 5)^2\cdot 7\\
\qquad 2\cdot (45)^2\cdot 7\\
\qquad 14\cdot 45^2
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{4\sqrt{14\cdot 45^2}}{189x}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{4\cdot 45\sqrt{14}}{189}\implies \cfrac{180\sqrt{14}}{189x}\implies \cfrac{20\sqrt{14}}{21x}$
