The inverse function is to calculate the number of rides; given the amount paid

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Admission = 15

Ride = 3 per ride

Required

Explain the inverse function

First, we calculate the function

Let x represents the number of rides

So:

f(x) = Admission + Ride * x

f(x) = 15 + 3 * x

f(x) = 15 + 3x

For the inverse function, we have:

y = 15 + 3x

Swap x and y

x = 15 + 3y

Make 3y the subject

3y = x - 15

Make y the subject

y =\frac{x}{3} - 5

Replace y with the inverse function

f^{-1}(x) =\frac{x}{3} - 5

The above is to calculate the number of rides; given the amount paid

Abigail tosses a coin off a bridge into the stream below. The distance, in feet, the coin above the water is modeled by the equa
melomori [17]

Answer:

7 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of the coin above the water is modeled by the equation

y=-16x^2+96x+112

where x is time taken to cover the distance

Now equating with zero.

0=-16x^2+96x+112\\\Rightarrow 16x^2-96x-112=0\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-\left(-96\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-96\right)^2-4\times \:16\left(-112\right)}}{2\times \:16}\\\Rightarrow x=7, -1

So, time taken by the coin to hit the water is 7 seconds.

A bag contains 7 pieces of paper numbered 1 to 7. P(2)=. Is
pochemuha

Answer:

P (2) =\frac{1}{7}  Theoretical probability

Step-by-step explanation:

The theoretical probability is defined as:

P = \frac{number\ of\ desired\ results}{number\ of\ possible\ results}

In this case we look for the probability of taking a 2 out of the bag. As there is only one paper with the number 2 in the bag then:

number of desired results = 1

The amount of paper in the bag is equal to 7, so:

number of possible results = 7

Thus:

P (2) =\frac{1}{7}

This is a theoretical probability, since we do not need to perform the experiment to calculate the probability.

To calculate the experimental probability we must perform the following experiment:

Take a paper out of the bag, record the number obtained and then return the paper to the bag.

Now repeat this experiment n times. (Perform n trials)

So:

P (2) = \frac{number\ of\ times\ you\ obtained\ the\ number\ 2}{number\ of\ trials\ performed}

To calculate a theoretical probability you always need to perform an experiment with n trials.

A certain television is advertised as a 59-inch TV (the diagonal length). If the width of
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

32.9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base = 49

c =  hypotenuse = diagonal = 59

l² + 49² = 59²

l² = 59² - 49²

3481 - 2401 = 1080

find the square root
