Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is irrational, it can never be rational unless it is acted upon by something else like a power.

Pi, no matter what is done to it, can never be rational. Once a number is declared as irrational, that is what it remains.

Find the inverse of the function y=2x^2+2

Tatiana [17]

The inverse of the function is y = $\sqrt{\frac{x - 2}{2}}$

In order to find this, you must start by switching the y and x values. Once you do this, you can solve for the new y value and that will be in inverse. The work is done for you below.

y = 2x^2 + 2 ---> switch x and y

x = 2y^2 + 2 ---> subtract 2 from both sides

x - 2 = 2y^2 ---> divide both sides by 2

$\frac{x-2}{2}$ = y^2 ---> take the square root of both sides.

$\sqrt{\frac{x - 2}{2}}$ = y

Help finding the x & y intercept

nasty-shy [4]

The x-intercept will be the value of x when y=0. The solutions to (x+1)(x+2)=0 are -1 and -2 since we can substitute them in to have one of the values in parentheses equal to zero, so our x-intercepts are (-1, 0) and (-2, 0). The y-intercept is the value of y when x=0, or (0+1)(0+2)=2. Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, 2).
