Answer:

The correct option is;

The \ domain \ restriction \ x \geq \dfrac{17}{2} \ results \ in \ m^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{x + \dfrac{289}{4} }}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information is that m(x) = x² - 17·x

The above equation can be written in the form;

y = x² - 17·x

Therefore;

0 = x² - 17·x - y

From the general solution of a quadratic equation, 0 = a·x² + b·x + c we have;

x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a}

By comparison to the equation,0 = x² - 17·x - y, we have;

a = 1, b = -17, and c = -y

Substituting the values of a, b and c into the formula for the general solution of a quadratic equation, we have;

x = \dfrac{-(-17)\pm \sqrt{(-17)^{2}-4\times (1) \times (-y)}}{2\times (1)} = \dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{289+4\cdot y}}{2}

Which can be simplified as follows;

x =  \dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{289+4\cdot y}}{2}= \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \dfrac{1}{2}  \times \sqrt{289+4\cdot y}} = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{289}{4} +\dfrac{4\cdot y}{4} }}

And further simplified as follows;

x = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{289}{4} +y }} = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{y + \dfrac{289}{4} }}

Interchanging x and y in the function of the inverse, m⁻¹(x), we have;

m^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{x + \dfrac{289}{4} }}

We note that the maximum or minimum point of the function, m(x) = x² - 17·x found by differentiating the function and equating the result to zero, gives;

m'(x) = 2·x - 17 = 0

x = 17/2

Similarly, the second derivative is taken to determine if the given point is a maximum or minimum point as follows;

m''(x) = 2 > 0, therefore, the point is a minimum point on the graph

Therefore, as x increases past the minimum point of 17/2, m⁻¹(x) increases to give;

The \ domain \ restriction \ x \geq \dfrac{17}{2} \ results \ in \ m^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{17}{2} \pm \sqrt{x + \dfrac{289}{4} }} to increase m⁻¹(x) above the minimum.

What is 60= 3/4h i am doing BIM (Big ideas math online) i need help plz
crimeas [40]

<u>Answer: </u><em><u>h=80 is the final answer. *The answer must be have a positive sign.*</u></em>

Explanation:

<em><u>Switch sides of an equation.</u></em>

<em><u>3/4h=60</u></em>

<em><u>multiply by 4 both sides of an equation.</u></em>

<em><u>4*3/4h=60*4</u></em>

<em><u>simplify.</u></em>

<em><u>3h=240</u></em>

<em><u>divide by 3 both sides of an equation.</u></em>

<em><u>3h/3=240/3</u></em>

<em><u>simplify.</u></em>

<em><u>240/3=80</u></em>

<em><u>80*3=240</u></em>

<em><u>3*80=240</u></em>

<em><u>240/80=3</u></em>

<em><u>h=80</u></em>

<em><u>Hope this helps!</u></em>

<em><u>Thanks!</u></em>

<em><u>Have a great day!</u></em>

Solve the system of equations using elimination 2x+y=3 and 3x-y=12
Eddi Din [679]
2x + y = 3
3x - y = 12
Add both equations
5x = 15, x = 3
2(3) + y = 3
6 + y = 3, y = -3
Solution: x = 3, y = -3... or (3,-3)
