Note that f(x) as given is <em>not</em> invertible. By definition of inverse function,


which is a cubic polynomial in
with three distinct roots, so we could have three possible inverses, each valid over a subset of the domain of f(x).
Choose one of these inverses by restricting the domain of f(x) accordingly. Since a polynomial is monotonic between its extrema, we can determine where f(x) has its critical/turning points, then split the real line at these points.
f'(x) = 3x² - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = ±1/√3
So, we have three subsets over which f(x) can be considered invertible.
• (-∞, -1/√3)
• (-1/√3, 1/√3)
• (1/√3, ∞)
By the inverse function theorem,

where f(a) = b.
Solve f(x) = 2 for x :
x³ - x + 2 = 2
x³ - x = 0
x (x² - 1) = 0
x (x - 1) (x + 1) = 0
x = 0 or x = 1 or x = -1
Then
can be one of
• 1/f'(-1) = 1/2, if we restrict to (-∞, -1/√3);
• 1/f'(0) = -1, if we restrict to (-1/√3, 1/√3); or
• 1/f'(1) = 1/2, if we restrict to (1/√3, ∞)
Answer: 5x+16
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute
2x+12 + 3x + 4
Add like terms
5x+16
2800-2100=700
2800/700=4
4% decrease
Answer:
Equation would be y=0x+2.
Step-by-step explanation:
b = 2
m = 0
using the formula,
y=mx+b
or, y = 0x+2
or, y = 0+2
so, y = 2
