Answer:
They are inverses since both composition equal x.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the functions, f(x) = 3x + 1 and g(x) = (x-1) / 3, to check if they are inverses functions, we are to find the inverse of one of the function and check if it will give us the other function.
Let's look for the inverse of f(x).
Given f(x) = 3x+1
Let y = f(x) so that y = 3x+1
Replace y with x
x = 3y+1
Make y the subject of the formula of the resulting equation;
3y = x-1
y = (x-1)/3
The new function of x will be the inverse of f(x)
Hence f^-1(x) = (x-1)/3 = g(x)
Another way to check is to find their composition. Let's find f(g(x) and g(f(x)
F(g(x)) = f((x-1)/3)
Replace x with (x-1)/3 in f(x)
F(g(x)) = 3[(x-1)/3]+1
F(g(x)) = x-1+1
F(g(x)) = x
Similarly for g(f(x));
g(f(x)) = g(3x+1)
Replace x in g(x) with 3x+1
g(3x+1) = (3x+1-1)/3
g(3x+1) = 3x/3
g(3x+1) = x.
Since g(f(x)) = f(g(x)) = x, hence f(x) and g(x) are Inverses functions
Well actually you cant simplify that so you should just leave it as it is.
Answer:
40/3, 172/3, respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 9 = 2y
2x = 2y + 2
x + 9 = 2(2x - 2)
4x - 4 = x + 9
3x - 13 = 0
x = 13/3
y = 40/6
RT = 13/3 + 9 = 40/3
QS = 160/3 + 4 = 172/3
You would do the opposite of what he stated. So you would do $22.20 divided by 12. Which would be $1.85. So a carton of eggs costs $1.85. You would then multiply $1.85 by 7 and get $12.95.
