Which is the inverse of the function f (x) = 1/4x + 1/2

Answer:

f⁻¹(x) = 4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of a function, switch the places of x and y (or f(x)).

f(x) = 1/4x + 1/2 → y = 1/4x + 1/2

Switch the variables.

x = 1/4y + 1/2

Now you want to convert the equation back into y = mx + b form.

x = 1/4y + 1/2

Subtract 1/2 from both sides.

x - 1/2 = 1/4y

Now, you want to isolate y further by dividing both sides by 1/4 (or multiplying by 4).

4(x - 1/2) = y

Distribute the 4.

4x - 2 = y → y = 4x - 2 → f⁻¹(x) = 4x - 2

This is the inverse of your given function.

Thinking about the graph of y, the rate of change is zero whenever there is an extremum.

First, differentiate y.

y'=6x^2+6x-12

Next, find the zeros of y' by factoring.

6(x^2+x-2)=0 \\ x = -2, x = 1

Now, we substitute these x-values into the original equation to find the coordinates.

Given a sphere with a diameter of 6 cm, find its volume to the nearest whole<br> number.
mezya [45]

Answer:

Volume of the sphere is 1.13\times 10^{-4}m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given diameter of the sphere d = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Radius of the sphere

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.06}{2}=0.03m

We know that volume of the sphere is given by

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Therefore ,

V=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times  0.03^3

=1.13\times 10^{-4}m^3

Therefore volume of the sphere is 1.13\times 10^{-4}m^3
