What they’re looking for is the inverse function. Imagine the f(x) is a y and switch the x and y to get x=4y-12. Try to isolate y again so add 12 to both sides to get x+12=4y. Divide both sides to get 1/4x+3, your final answer

You can find the inverse of an equation by swapping the x and y, then solving for y.

f(x) = 4x - 12   f(x) is the equivalent of y in this case, so change it to a y

y = 4x - 12   Swap the x and y variables

x = 4y - 12

Solve for y

x = 4y - 12   Add 12 to both sides

x + 12 = 4y   Divide both sides by 4

\frac{x}{4} + 3 = y   Switch the sides to make it easier to read

y = \frac{x}{4} + 3   Change y back into f(x) to match what you were given

f(x) = \frac{x}{4} + 3

Which is the equation of a hyperbola with directrices at x = ±2 and foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0)? y squared over 40 minus x square
N76 [4]

The equation of the hyperbola with directrices at x = ±2 and foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0) is \frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1

<h3>How to determine the equation of the hyperbola?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Directrices at x = ±2
  • Foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0)

The foci of a hyperbola are represented as:

Foci = (k ± c, h)

The center is:

Center = (h,k)

And the directrix is:

Directrix, x = h ± a²/c

By comparison, we have:

k ± c = ±5

h = 0

h ± a²/c = ±2

Substitute h = 0 in h ± a²/c = ±2

0 ± a²/c = ±2

This gives

a²/c = 2

Multiply both sides by c

a² = 2c

k ± c = ±5 means that:

k ± c = 0 ± 5

By comparison, we have:

k = 0 and c = 5

Substitute c = 5 in a² = 2c

a² = 2 * 5

a² = 10

Next, we calculate b using:

b² = c² - a²

This gives

b² = 5² - 10

Evaluate

b² = 15

The hyperbola is represented as:

\frac{(x - k)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y - h)^2}{b^2} = 1

So, we have:

\frac{(x - 0)^2}{10} + \frac{(y - 0)^2}{15} = 1

Evaluate

\frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1

Hence, the equation of the hyperbola is \frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1

PLLLLLSSSS Heeeellppp ill mark brainliest I promisseeeeeeee plsssss
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

2\,(x-1)^2=4

which is the first option in the list of possible answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the minimum of a parabola generated by a quadratic expression is at the vertex of the parabola, and the formula for the vertex of a quadratic of the general form:

y=ax^2+bx+c

is at   x_{vertex}=\frac{-b}{2\,a}

For our case, where a=2\,\,, b=-4\,\,,\,\,and \,\,c=-2  we have:

x_{vertex}=\frac{-b}{2\,a}\\x_{vertex}=\frac{4}{2\,*\,2}\\x_{vertex}=1

And when x = 1, the value of "y" is:

y(x)=2x^2-4x-2\\y(1)=2(1)^2-4(1)-2\\y(1)=2-6\\y(1)=-4\\y_{vertex}=-4

Recall now that we can write the quadratic in what is called: "vertex form" using the coordinates (x_{vertex},y_{vertex)of the vertex as follows:

y-y_{vertex}=a\,(x-x_{vertex})^2

Then, for our case:

y-(-4)=2\,(x-1)^2\\y=2\,(x-1)^2-4

Then, for the quadratic equal to zero as requested in the problem, we have:

y=2\,(x-1)^2-4=0\\2\,(x-1)^2-4=0\\2\,(x-1)^2=4

Last week at a festival, a man sold 4 times as many tie-dyed T-shirts as silk screened shirts. He sold 180 shirts altogether. Ho
lyudmila [28]

Let the number of tie-dyed T-shirts = x

The man sold 4 times as many tie-dyed T-shirts as silk-screened shirts.

So, the number of silk-screened shirts = 4x

He sold 180 shirts altogether

So,

\begin{gathered} x+4x=180 \\ 5x=180 \\  \\ x=\frac{180}{5}=36 \end{gathered}

So, the number of tie-dyed shirts = 36
