A graphing calculator shows the relative extremes to be
.. (2.606, 10.837) . . . relative maximum
.. (8.564, 8.033) . . . . relative minimum
domain is 10 and range is 5 and another domain is 10 and range is -3
Answer:
x = 28 (So it takes 28 hours for the temperature to reach 0°C.)
y = -70 (So the temperature when the experiment begins is −70°C.)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the the x value, you remove the y value or replace it with 0.
0 = 5/2x - 70
Next you move the variable.
70 (2/5) = x (multiply 70 by 2 to get 140 and divide that by 5)
And now you simplify to get:
28
To find the y value, you remove the x value or replace it with 0.
y = 0 - 70
And now you simplify to get:
-70
x = 28
y = -70
They are inverse functions though to be completely thorough your teacher should have also put g(f(x)) = x as well. Though I can see what your teacher is aiming for at least.
The idea is that whatever the output of g(x) is, it's plugged into f(x) and the initial input is the result. So g(x) takes a step forward and f(x) takes a step back undoing everything g(x) did. Which is exactly what an inverse operation does.
