Answer:
The inverse function of f(x) is ... f⁻¹(x) = log (x/9.16)/log (1.0054)
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting equation... f(x) = 9.16(1.0054)ˣ
Visually rewritten... y = 9.16(1.0054)ˣ
Flipping x and y... x = 9.16(1.0054)ʸ
Isolating (1.0054)ʸ... x/9.16 = (1.0054)ʸ
Taking the log of both sides... log (x/9.16) = y log (1.0054)
Isolating y... log (x/9.16)/log (1.0054) = y
Solution... y = log (x/9.16)/log (1.0054)
Composing functions means that the input of the outer functions is the output of the inner function.
In fact, you can rewrite the circle notation as
So, we can substitute g(x) with its expression:
And since f(x)=x+5, we simply have to add 5 to its input:
Similarly, we have, substituting f with its expression,
And since g(x)=4x+2, we have to multiply the input by 4 and add 2:
Answer:
height of the tree is 30 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
a tree casts a shadow 42 feet long . at the same time, a person 5 feet tall casts a shadow 7 feet long.
shadow of a 5 feet tall person is 7 feet long
Let x be the height of the tree
shadow of a 42 feet tree is x feet long
Make a proportion
cross multiply
divide by 7 on both sides
x=30
So height of the tree is 30 feet
