It would be 2 root 2
bc it simplifies to root 2 and root 4
root 4 simplifies to 2
so its 2√2
(a) Using the table, give the values fo rthe inverse
1) original table of values:
x 1 2 3 4 5
f(x) 0 1 1 5 3
2) The inverse of the function is obtained by exchanging x and f(x), this is:
( x, f(x) ) → ( f(x), x)
3) So, the table of values of the inverse of the given function is:
x 0 1 1 5 3
f⁻¹ (x) 0 1 2 3 4
(b) Is the inverse a function?
No, the inverse is not a function, since the table of the inverse shows that the x -value 1 has two different images.
This ambigüity is opposite to the definition of a function, which requires that any input value has only one output. For that reason, the inverse is not a function. You cannot tell whether the image of 1 is 1 or 2, because both are images of the same value.
Find all the prime factors of the three numbers. pick up the common factors, ONCE, then pick up the non-common factors one by one, multiply the factors, the product is the least common factor.
example: the least common multiple of 6, 8, and 15
6=2*3
8=2*2*2
15=3*5
Note: do not write 8 into 4*2, because 4 is not a prime number. you have to break the number down to prime factors only.
Notice that 6 and 8 have a common factor 2, so pick up the 2;
6 and 15 have a common factor of 3, so pick up the 3.
those are the only two shared factors, so 2×3
now pick up whatever is not shared:
the two 2s for 8 and the 5 for 15 is not shared, add 2, 2, and 5 to the multiplication: 2×3×2×2×5=120
120 is the least common multiples of 6,8, and 15
this is basically how it is done. I believe you can explain better in your own words.
