Find the inverse of the function. y=x2 + 4x + 4

Mathematics

adoni [48]3 years ago

Answer: To find the inverse of the function, we need to make x as a function of y and at the final step make a switch between x and y (i.e. make x as y and y as x)

y = x² + 4x + 4  ⇒⇒⇒ factor the quadratic equation

y = (x+2)(x+2)

y = (x+2)²         ⇒⇒⇒ take the square root to both sides

√y = x+2

x = √y - 2         ⇒⇒⇒ x becomes a function of y

final step:

∴ y = √x - 2   ⇒⇒⇒ the inverse of the given function

So, as a conclusion:

f(x) = y = x² + 4x + 4  ⇒⇒⇒ the given function

f⁻¹(x) = y = √x - 2       ⇒⇒⇒ the inverse of the given function

Determine if the pair of ratios or rates are equivalent.
Norma-Jean [14]
Yes because $18 divided by 3 bracelets makes the price per bracelet $6. $30 divided by 5 bracelets makes the price per bracelet $6. The cost per bracelet is the same so the cost to bracelet ratio is the same and both are a $6 to 1 bracelet ratio
