f^-1(x) = 2x + 10 → d

let y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 5

rearrange making x the subject

$\frac{1}{2}$ x - 5 = y

add 5 to both sides

$\frac{1}{2}$ x = y + 5

multiply both sides by 2

x = 2y + 10 ⇒ f^-1(x) = 2x + 10

this information is meant to test your decision making on what's important for the question.

now just ask how often you can pay $68 dollars per day while staying below 300 in total, you can just count it up.

the speed that a tsunami can travel is modeled by the equation mc025-1.jpg , where s is the speed in kilometers per hour and d i

Flura [38]

The answer is a.0.32 km.

The speed that a tsunami can travel is modeled by the equation is s = 356√d.

It is given:
s = 200 km/h
d = ?

Now, let's substitute s in the equation and find d:
s = 356√d
200 = 356√d
√d = 200 ÷ 356
√d = 0.562

Now, let's square both sides of the equation:
(√d)² = (0.562)²
d = (0.562)² = 0.316 ≈ 0.32

Therefore, the approximate depth (d) of water for a tsunami traveling at 200 kilometers per hour is 0.32 km.
