A dinner plate has a circumference of 106.76 cm. What is the area of the dinner plate? Use = 3.14.

1 answer:

3 0

C=2pr, r=c/(2p)

a=pr^2, using r found above we get:

a=p(c^2/(4p^2))

a=(c^2)/(4p), since c=106.76 and we approximate pi as 3.14

a=(106.76^2)/(4*3.14)

a=11612.2176/12.56 cm^2

a≈924.54 cm^2 (to nearest one-hundredth of a square cm)

Given f(x) = 4x^4 find f^-1(x) Then state whether f^-1(x) is a function.

sdas [7]

Answer:

$f^{-1}(x)=\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{x}{4}}$
$f^{-1}(x) \quad\text{is not a function}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse function, solve for y:

$x=f(y)\\\\x=4y^4\\\\\dfrac{x}{4}=y^4\\\\\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{x}{4}}=y\\\\f^{-1}(x)=\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{x}{4}}$

f(x) is an even function, so f(-x) = f(x). Then the inverse relation is double-valued: for any given y, there can be either of two x-values that will give that result.

A function is single-valued. That means any given domain value maps to exactly one range value. The test of this is the "vertical line test." If a vertical line intersects the graph in more than one point, then that x-value maps to more than one y-value.

The horizontal line test is similar. It is used to determine whether a function has an inverse function. If a horizontal line intersects the graph in more than one place, the inverse relation is not a function.

Since the inverse relation for the given f(x) maps every x to two y-values, it is not a function. You can also tell this by the fact that f(x) is an even function, so does not pass the horizontal line test. When f(x) doesn't pass the horizontal line test, f^-1(x) cannot pass the vertical line test.

_____

The attached graph shows the inverse relation (called f₁(x)). It also shows a vertical line intersecting that graph in more than one place.
