PLS HELP If f(x) = x2 -1, what is the equation for f–1(x)?

Mathematics
1 answer:

We have a function,

f(x)=x^2-1

and we are asked to find its inverse function.

An inverse function essentially gets you the original value that was dropped into a function.

For example,

If I put 5 into f(x) I will get 24. Now If I take 24 and put it into the inverse function I have to get number 5 back.

The way to determine the inverse function swap the x and the f(x), then solve for f(x),

x=f(x)^2-1

f(x)^2=x+1

f(x)=\pm\sqrt{x+1}

Of course the notation demands that the obtained function be called,

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

Hope this helps :)

Which statement is true?
Nadusha1986 [10]

The correct statement is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

For backyard

Length = 5x-2

Width = 2x+4

For house

Length = 5x-2

Width = 4x-12

For driveway

Length = x+10

Width = 4x-12

To find the correct statement.

Formula

The area of a rectangle = Length × Width

So,

The area of the house and the driveway = (5x-2)(4x-12) + (x+10)(4x-12)

= (4x-12)(5x-2+x+10)

= (4x-12)(6x+8)

=24x^{2} +32x-72x-96

= 24x^{2} -40x-96

So, the correct statement is D

You can cross check the other statements.
