The answer is: f^{-1} = 4x^2-3,\quad\text{for  } x \leq 0

The inverse of a function f(x) is another function, f^{-1}(x), with the following property:

f(f^{-1}(x)) = f^{-1}(f(x)) = x

In other words, the inverse of a function does exactly "the opposite" of what the original function does, and so if you compute them both in sequence you return to the starting point.

Think for example to a function that doubles the input, f(x)=2x, and one that halves it: f(x)= \frac{x}{2}. Their composition is clearly the identity function f(x)=x, since you consider "twice the half of something", or "half the double of something".

In general, to invert a function y=f(x), you have to solve the expression for x, writing an expression like x = g(y). If you manage to do so, then g is the inverse of f.

In your case, you have

f(x) = y = -\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{x+3}

Multiply both sides by -2 to get

-2y = \sqrt{x+3}

Square both sides to get

4y^2 = x+3

Finally, subtract 3 from both sides to get

x = 4y^2 - 3

Since the name of the variables doesn't really have a meaning, you can say that the inverse function is

f^{-1}(x) = 4x^2 - 3

As for the domain of the inverse function, remember what we said ad the beginning: if the original function goes from set A (domain) to set B (codomain), then the inverse function goes from set B (domain) to set A (codomain). This means that the inverse function is defined on an element in B if and only if that element belongs to the range of the original function, i.e. the set of the elements of the codomain b \in B such that there exists a \in A : f(a)=b. So, we need the range of f(x).

We know that the range of g(x)=\sqrt{x} is [0,\infty). When you transform it to g(x)=\sqrt{x+3} you simply translate the graph horizontally, so the range doesn't change. But when you multiply the function times -\frac{1}{2} you affect both extrema of the range, turning it into (-\infty,0], which you can simply write as x \leq 0

Answer:

Based on this screenshot, this is a Test. Do the test no your own, and if you're unsure what the answer is you can come back to it later or just pick random. If you get it correct or incorrect most tests like this will change their difficulty level to see what types of problems you can and cannot answer. This is so your teacher can see what you know about math and what you may need help learning about.

How many times greater is the value of the digit 8 in 82.77 than the value of the digit 8 in 20.18
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Option 3. 1,000 times

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The value of digit 8 in 82.77 is equal to 80

The value of digit 8 in 20.18 is 0.08

so

Divide 80 by 0.08

80/0.08=1,000 times
