Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have here is a permutation, seeing as each element can only be used once.

We have 4 letters initially, so we can choose any 1 as our first letter. We have 4 choices for our first letter

However, once we choose our first letter, we can't use it anymore, so, for our second letter, we can only choose from the remaining 3 letters.

Furthermore, once we choose our second letter, we can only choose our 3rd letter from the remaining two letters we didn't choose yet.

Finally, our last letter will always be the one we didn't choose the last 3 times. So there is only one choice here.

Going off of this, we have four choices for the 1st letter, three choices for the 2nd letter, two choices for the 3rd letter, and one choice for the 4th letter

The way to calculate how many permutations we have without repetition is using factorials

Where N is the number of elements you have.

In this case, it would be 4!

4! is 4 * 3 * 2 * 1

Which equals 24

If you notice, each number in 4! is the number of options we have for each choice. 4, then 3, and so on

Given that f(x) = x + 3<br> a) Find f(2)

Nataly_w [17]

${ \qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}}$

Here we go ~

In the above question, it is given that :

$\qquad \sf \boxed{ \sf f(x) = \frac{x + 3}{2} }$

A.) Find f(2) :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: f(2) = \dfrac{2 + 3}{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: f(2) = \dfrac{5}{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: f(2) = 0.5$

B.) Find ${ \sf {f}^{-1}(x) }$ :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: let \: y = f (x)$

so, we can write it as :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: y = \dfrac{x + 3}{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 2y = x + 3$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: x = 2y - 3$

Now, put x = ${ \sf {f}^{-1}(x) }$ , and y = x and we will get our required inverse function ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: f {}^{ - 1}(x) = 2x- 3$

C.) Find ${ \sf {f}^{-1}(12) }$ :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: f {}^{ - 1}(12) = 2(12)- 3$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: f {}^{ - 1}(12) = 36- 3$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: f {}^{ - 1}(12) = 33$

Answer:

Computing the sum of $5.89 and $1.45 we get: $7.34

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to explain, how can we compute the sum of $5.89 and $1.45?

Computing the sums of dollar amounts is same as computing the sum of simple decimal expressions. Each value will be added to its corresponding values and we will get the answer.

Computing the sum of $5.89 and $1.45

$\:\:\:\:\:\$ \:\:5.89\\+\$ \:\:1.45\\------\\\:\:\:\:\:\$ \:\:7.34$

So, we will start adding from right side, 9 will be added with 5 and we get 14, 1 will be given carry and 8 will be added by 4 and add the carry we get 13, 1 will be given carry and 1 will be added by 5 and add the carry we get 7

So, Computing the sum of $5.89 and $1.45 we get: $7.34
