How can I solve the radical equation
1 answer:
I attached a picture, see if you can see what I'm doing. Basically, I start by squaring everything to get rid of the radical, but just remember at the end to always, always check your answers, because squaring your answers could get rid of some negative numbers that could result in imaginary answers. The answer I came up with was a=5,-2

Answer:
See attached for graphs
g(x) -- domain: -∞ < x < ∞; range: 0 < y < ∞
g^-1(x) -- domain: 0 < x < ∞; range: -∞ < y < ∞
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) is an exponential decay function. Its base is 1/3, so each increase of 1 unit in x will multiply the y-value by a factor of 1/3. The graph will rapidly approach its horizontal asymptote of y=0 as x gets large. The y-intercept is (0, 1). Just as y gets smaller as x increases, so it gets larger as x decreases. Each decrease of x by 1 unit causes the y-value to be multiplied by 3.

The graph of g^-1(x) is the graph of g(x) reflected across the line y=x. That is, each coordinate pair (x, y) on the graph of g(x) becomes a point (y, x) on the graph of the inverse function. In order to graph g^-1(x), you don't need to write down the function, you only need to know the relationship between the graphs.
Just as x- and y- are interchanged on the graph, so the domain, range, and intercepts are interchanged. g^-1(x) will have a vertical asymptote of x=0, and an x-intercept of (1, 0). The domain of g^-1(x) is the range of g(x): 0 < x < ∞; and the range of g^-1(x) is the domain of g(x): -∞ < y < ∞.

The attached graph shows g(x) in red and g^-1(x) in blue. As you can see, we created the graph simply by interchanging x and y. The line y=x is shown for reference, so you can see that each curve is a reflection of the other across that line.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The explicit expression for g^-1(x) can be found by solving for y:
x = g(y)
If you're familiar with the log function, you know it has an x-intercept of 1 and a vertical asymptote at x=0. The base of the log function is simply a vertical scale factor. The minus sign reflects it across the x-axis.
Answer:
The GDP gap is 9 % when there is 4.5 % unemployment.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement shows a reverse relationship, where an increase in unemployment is following by decrease in potential GDP and can be translated into the following rate:
The GDP gap at a given increase in unemployment can be estimated by the following expression:
Where:
- GDP gap-unemployment increase rate, dimensionless.
- Increase in unemployment rate, measured in percentage.
- GDP gap, measured in percentage.
If and
, the GDP gap is:
The GDP gap is 9 % when there is 4.5 % unemployment.
