Answer:
solution: ( 3 , 6 )
Step-by-step explanation:
make y the subject in equation 2:
insert this in equation 1:
solve for y:
because y^3 is raised to the power of two, we will have to multiply the exponents rather than adding them.
By distributing the power of 2, we will get y^2(6).
Because now the exponents are being multiplied, we can just add them to get y^8. The other y has a power of 1, so we'll just add the power of that y as well to get y^9.
summary:
multiply exponents if they are being raised to a power.
add exponents if they are being multiplied, and only add them if they have the same base (in this case, both the bases of the exponents are y, so we can add them)
Answer: C
The total height of a 3 inch tree after it grows 2 inches per month
Answer:
Rectangle A's length = 22 ft., Rectangle B's length = 44 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know that the length of Rectangle B is twice the length of Rectangle A, we know that 2*(3x + 7) = Rectangle B's length.
We must set this equation to the dimensions already given for Rectangle B, which gives us 2(3x + 7) = 2 (5x - 3).
Using the distributive property gives us 6x + 14 = 10x - 6 and solving for x gives us x = 5.
We must plug five into the original dimensions to find that the lengths of Rectangles A and B are 22 feet and 44 feet respectively.
First, conceptually understand what an inverse function is, it makes solving it very intuitive. An inverse function is simply a function which has points (y,x) for every point (x,y) of the parent function. So you are essentially taking all points of the parent function and switching the x and y coordinates for each. Those switched coordinates are produced by the "inverse function".
Mathematically then, finding the inverse function is a matter of solving for x and then switching the variable labels. In this case:
y=2x+1 subtract 1 from both sides
y-1=2x divide both sides by 2
(y-1)/2=x now just switch the labels for the variables...
y=(x-1)/2 so
f^-1(x)=(x-1)/2 is the inverse of f(x)=2x+1
