Technology comes from the Greek root
, meaning art or craft.
For the Greeks, a straightedge and compass was technology.
The nice thing about a straightedge and compass construction of any length is that there's always a corresponding algebraic form consisting of natural numbers combined via addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and square rooting (of positive numbers). So we get an "exact" answer, at least using radicals.
Compare that to the typical calculating technology we use today where the square roots turn into approximations. The calculator is worse, turning an exact answer into an approximation.
Straightedge and compass constructions play a large role in the development of mathematics but they're not really better, it's just how things went. By restricting ourselves to straightedges (linear equations) and compasses (circles, quadratic equations) we restricted the possible lengths we could construct. Understanding exactly how propelled mathematics forward for a couple of thousand years.
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = y = -1/2 × sqrt(x + 3), x >= -3
-2y = sqrt(x + 3)
4y² = x + 3
x = 4y² - 3
and now we need to rename x to y and y to x to make it a "normal" function :
y = 4x² - 3
since in the original function x >= -3, this gave us y <=0.
and therefore (remember the x of the inverse function actually stands for the y of the original function) the limit for the inverse function is x <= 0.
so, again, the full answer is
f^-1(x) = 4x² - 3, x <= 0

Step-by-step explanation:
correct on edge !
Answer:
f = 6, g = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of Δ ADE = 60 - 48 = 12 cm²
Thus
AD × 4 = 12, that is
2AD = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )
AD = 6 = f
The area of ABCD = 48 cm² , thus
fg = 48 , that is
6g = 48 ( divide both sides by 6 )
g = 8
Thus f = 6 and g = 8
