F(x) = (1/2)x + 4
Plug y in for f(x).
y = (1/2)x + 4
Swap x and y.
x = (1/2)y + 4
Solve the equation for y =.
Subtract 4 from both sides.
x - 4 = (1/2)y
Multiply each term 2.
2x - 8 = y
Plug f^-1(x) in for y.
f^-1(x) = 2x - 8
f^-1(4) = 2(4) - 8
f^-1(4) = 0
Plug x = 0 into the function
f(x) = x^3 + 2x - 1
f(0) = 0^3 + 2(0) - 1
f(0) = -1
Note how the result is negative. The actual number itself doesn't matter. All we care about is the sign of the result.
Repeat for x = 1
f(x) = x^3 + 2x - 1
f(1) = 1^3 + 2(1) - 1
f(1) = 2
This result is positive.
---------------------------
We found that f(0) = -1 and f(1) = 2. The first output -1 is negative while the second output 2 is positive. Going from negative to positive means that, at some point, we will hit y = 0. We might have multiple instances of this happening, or just one. We don't know for sure. The only thing we do know is that there is at least one root in this interval.
To actually find this root, you'll need to use a graphing calculator because the root is some complicated decimal value. Using a graphing calculator, you should find the root to be approximately 0.4533976515
Step 1.
Calculate measure of angle α:
Step 2.
Calculate what fraction of the angle 360° is the angle α:
Step 3.
Calculate the circumference of the Earth (circle):
Step 4.
The length of arc is equal 1/40 of the circumference:
<h3>Answer: A) 628 miles</h3>
By definition the area of a rectangle is:
A = l * w
Where,
l: long
w: width
So we have to clear the width:
w = A / l
Substituting the values:
w = (234) / (18) = 13
w = 13 feets
answer
the width, in feet, of the room is 13
