MATH HELP PLEASE!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

The answer is: [C]: " f(c) = $\frac{9}{5}$ c + 32 " .
________________________________________________________

Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Given the original function:

" c(y) = (5/9) (x − 32) " ; in which "x = f" ; and "y = c(f) " ;
________________________________________________________
→ Write the original function as: " y = (5/9) (x − 32) " ;

Now, change the "y" to an "x" ; and the "x" to a "y"; and rewrite; as follows:
________________________________________________________
x = (5/9) (y − 32) ;

Now, rewrite THIS equation; by solving for "y" ; in terms of "x" ;
_____________________________________________________
→ That is, solve this equation for "y" ; with "c" as an "isolated variable" on the
"left-hand side" of the equation:

We have:

→ x = " ( $\frac{5}{9}$ ) * (y − 32) " ;

Let us simplify the "right-hand side" of the equation:
_____________________________________________________

Note the "distributive property" of multiplication:
__________________________________________
a(b + c) = ab + ac ; AND:

a(b – c) = ab – ac .
__________________________________________

As such:
__________________________________________

" ( $\frac{5}{9}$ ) * (y − 32) " ;

= [ ( $\frac{5}{9}$ ) * y ] − [ ( $\frac{5}{9}$ ) * (32) ] ;

= [ ( $\frac{5}{9}$ ) y ] − [ ( $\frac{5}{9}$ ) * ( $\frac{32}{1})$ " ;

= [ ( $\frac{5}{9}$ ) y ] − [ ( $\frac{(5*32)}{(9*1)}$ ] ;

= [ ( $\frac{5}{9}$ ) y ] − [ ( $\frac{(160)}{(9)}$ ] ;

= [ ( $\frac{5y}{9}$ ) ] − [ ( $\frac{(160)}{(9)}$ ] ;

= [ $\frac{(5y-160)}{9}$ ] ;
_______________________________________________
And rewrite as:

→ " x = $\frac{(5y-160)}{9}$ " ;

We want to rewrite this; solving for "y"; with "y" isolated as a "single variable" on the "left-hand side" of the equation ;

We have:

→ " x = $\frac{(5y-160)}{9}$ " ;

↔ " $\frac{(5y-160)}{9}$ = x ;

Multiply both sides of the equation by "9" ;

9 * $\frac{(5y-160)}{9}$ = x * 9 ;

to get:

→ 5y − 160 = 9x ;

Now, add "160" to each side of the equation; as follows:
_______________________________________________________

→ 5y − 160 + 160 = 9x + 160 ;

to get:

→ 5y = 9x + 160 ;

Now, divided Each side of the equation by "5" ;
to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "y" ;

→ 5y / 5 = (9y + 160) / 5 ;

to get:

→ y = (9/5)x + (160/5) ;

→ y = (9/5)x + 32 ;

→ Now, remember we had substituted: "y" for "c(f)" ;

Now that we have the "equation for the inverse" ;
→ which is: " (9/5)x + 32" ;

Remember that for the original ("non-inverse" equation); "y" was used in place of "c(f)" . We have the "inverse equation"; so we can denote this "inverse function" ; that is, the "inverse" of "c(f)" as: "f(c)" .

Note that "x = c" ;
_____________________________________________________
So, the inverse function is: " f(c) = (9/5) c + 32 " .
_____________________________________________________

The answer is: " f(c) = $\frac{9}{5}$ c + 32 " ;
_____________________________________________________
→ which is:

→ Answer choice: [C]: " f(c) = $\frac{9}{5}$ c + 32 " .

Venita is factoring the expression 32ab-8b. She determines the GCF and writes the factored expression as 8b(4a-0). Which best de

Nimfa-mama [501]

Let's go through the steps of factoring that Venita should take.

1.) Find the greatest common factor (GCF). We only have two terms, so that makes it pretty easy.
32 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
8 = 1, 2, 4, 8
The greatest common factor of 32 and 8 is 8. We can also factor out a b since that term appears in each part of the original expression. The GCF and variable should go on the outside of the parentheses.
8b( )

2.) Now let's figure out what should go in the middle of the parentheses. To do this, use the original expression and divide each term. This is written in the parentheses.

32ab ÷ 8b = 4a
8b ÷ 8b = 1

This would then result in the factored expression 8b(4a - 1). You can always check this by using the distributive property. Distribute 8b out to both expressions:
8b x 4a = 32ab
8b x 1 = 8b
32ab - 8b is the expression she started with, so your factored expression works!

Now that we went through the steps to solve the factored expression, let's check her answer. The only difference between Venita's and ours is that she has 0 as the second term while we have a 1. It seems that she had subtracted the GCF from the second term instead of dividing.
