Answer:
f^-1(x) = (x -2)/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse function, swap x and y, then solve for y.
y = 3x +2 . . . . given function
x = 3y +2 . . . . inverse relation
x -2 = 3y . . . . subtract 2
(x -2)/3 = y . . . divide by 3
f^-1(x) = (x -2)/3 . . . . in functional form
Answer is the first one on left
Price of boots is represented as x, price of tennis shoes is represented as y.
x-y=44.38
x+y=196.12
Isolate x. (Or y, if you wanted to)
x=y+44.38
x=196.12-y
Set them equal to each other.
y+44.38=196.12-y
Solve for y. Then plug it in to either of the two original equations to find x.
x=120.24
y=75.86
Note: This is assuming that the boots are more expensive than the tennis shoes. If the tennis shoes are more expensive than the boots, then the prices would be switched. I didn't find this clear in your question.
Answer:
Draw your y and x axis , the y axis is going to be a vertical line while the x axis is going to be a horizontal line
To evaluate the probability that the lifespan will be between 1440 and 1465 hours will be given by:
P(1440<x<1465)
using the z-score formula we obtain:
z=(x-μ)/σ
where:
μ=1450
σ=8.5
hence
when x=1440
z=(1440-1450)/8.5
z=-1.18
P(z<-1.18)=0.1190
when x=1465
z=(1465-1450)/8.5
z=1.77
P(z<1.77)=0.9625
hence:
P(1440<x<1465)
=0.9625-0.1180
=0.8445
