<h3>Answer:</h3>
  1. x = 13; NP = 2 18/23 ≈ 2.8; NL = 5 5/23 ≈ 5.2
  2. D. x = 17, y = 5
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

1. In order for this problem to be workable, we need to assume PQ ║ ML. Then ΔPNQ ~ ΔLNM and ∠L = ∠P = 60°.

... ∠L = 60°

... (3x+21)° = 60°

... 3x = 39 . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 21

... x = 13 . . . . . . . . .divide by 3

The side lengths of similar triangles are proportional, so we have ...

... (3.2 cm)/y = (6 cm)/(8-y)

Multiplying by the product of the denominators, and dividing by (cm), we have ...

... 3.2(8 -y) = 6y

... 3.2×8 = 9.2y . . . . . add 3.2y

... y = 3.2×8/9.2 = 64/23 = 2 18/23 ≈ 2.78 = NP

Then ...

... 8-y = NL ≈ 5.22

In summary: x = 13; NP ≈ 2.8; NL ≈ 5.2

_____

2. If we assume figures ABCD and PSRQ are similar, we can find the values of the variables. We assume ∠C ≅ ∠R, so ...

... 4x +27° = 95°

... 4x = 68° . . . . . subtract 27°

... x = 17° . . . . . . . divide by 4

___

AB/AD = PS/PQ . . . . . corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional

... 4y/(3y-5) = 10/5 . . . . . units of ft cancel

... 5×4y = 10(3y -5) . . . . . multiply by 5(3y-5)

... 20y = 30y -50 . . . . . . simplify

... 50 = 10y . . . . . . . . . . . add 50-20y

... 5 = y . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10

Using this value of y, we have ...

AB = 4y ft = 20 ft; AD = (3y-5) ft = 10 ft. Both these values are double the corresponding lengths on PSRQ.

In summary, x = 17°, y = 5. . . . . . (note that the ° symbol is appropriate for x)

_____

You should have your teacher show you how to work these problems <em>using only the given information</em>.

In the second problem, you cannot start with the assumption that the figures are similar, as that is what you're being asked to prove. Please note, too, that two sides and one angle of a quadrilateral are insufficient to show similarity.

Inverse Function In Exercise,analytically show that the functions are inverse functions.Then use the graphing utility to show th
Anna [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to show whether

f^{-1}(x) = g(x)

or

g^{-1}(x) = f(x)

so we'll do either one of them,

we'll convert f(x) to f^-1(x) and lets see if it looks like g(x).

f(x) = e^x - 1

we can also write it as:

y = e^x - 1

now all we have to do is to make x the subject of the equation.

y+1 = e^x

\ln{(y+1)} = x

x=\ln{(y+1)}

now we'll interchange the variables

y=\ln{(x+1)}

this is the inverse of f(x)

f^{-1}(x)=\ln{(x+1)}

and it does equal to g(x)

g(x)=\ln{(x+1)}

Hence, both functions are inverse of each other!

This can be shown graphically too:

we can see that both functions are reflections of each other about the line y=x.
