Given that:

The function to represent the growth of Neveah hair is

f(x)=\dfrac{2x+4}{3}

where,  x represents the number of months since her last hair cut.

To find:

The inverse of function and time when her hair will have grown 6 inches.

Solution:

We have,

f(x)=\dfrac{2x+4}{3}

Put f(x)=y.

y=\dfrac{2x+4}{3}

Interchange x and y.

x=\dfrac{2y+4}{3}

Isolate y.

3x=2y+4

3x-4=2y

\dfrac{3x-4}{2}=y

Put y=f^{-1}(x).

f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{3x-4}{2}

So, the required inverse function is f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{3x-4}{2}. It represents the number of months to grow her hair x inches.

She can predict when her hair will have grown 6 inches by putting x=6 in the inverse function.

Put x=6 in the inverse function.

f^{-1}(6)=\dfrac{3(6)-4}{2}

f^{-1}(6)=\dfrac{18-4}{2}

f^{-1}(6)=\dfrac{14}{2}

f^{-1}(6)=7

Therefore, growth of her hair is 6 inches in 7 months.

Help me someone:((!!!!!
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

2L + 3S = 83

 

4L + 8S = 197

 

Multiplies the top equation by -2.

-4L + -6S = -166

 

4l  + 8S = 197

 

 

Adding them together...

 

2S = 31

 

S = 31/2 = 15.5

 

Plugging into the first equation:

 

 2L + 3S = 83

 

 2L + 3(15.5) = 83

 

2L + 46.5 = 83

 

2L = 83 - 46.5

 

2L = 36.5

 

L = 36.5/2 = 18.25

 

check:

 

2L + 3S = 2(18.25) + 3(15.5) = 36.5 + 46.5 = 83

 

4L + 8S = 4(18.25) + 8(15.5) = 73 + 124 = 197

 

The Large box weighs 18.25

The small box weighs 15.5

To rent a bounce house: At Mike's Bounce Shop costs $30 plus $2 per hour. At Jose's Bounce Rentals, it costs $12 plus $8 per hou
ANEK [815]

Answer: After 3 hours both will have the same cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of hours and y be the total cost.

Total cost = Initial cost + (cost per hour)(Number of hours)

At Mike's Bounce Shop,

Total cost (y)= 30+2x

At Jose's Bounce Rentals,

Total cost(y) =  12+8x

When both shops have the same cost, then

12+8x=30+2x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 8x-2x=30-12\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6x=18\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=3

Total cost = 12+8(3)=12+24=$36

Hence, After 3 hours both will have the same cost.
