Answer: To find the inverse of the function, we need to make x as a function of y and at the final step make a switch between x and y (i.e. make x as y and y as x)
y = x² + 4x + 4 ⇒⇒⇒ factor the quadratic equation
y = (x+2)(x+2)
y = (x+2)² ⇒⇒⇒ take the square root to both sides
√y = x+2
x = √y - 2 ⇒⇒⇒ x becomes a function of y
final step:
∴ y = √x - 2 ⇒⇒⇒ the inverse of the given function
So, as a conclusion:
f(x) = y = x² + 4x + 4 ⇒⇒⇒ the given function
f⁻¹(x) = y = √x - 2 ⇒⇒⇒ the inverse of the given function

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
12 machines
Step-by-step explanation:
The production rate per machine is 1240/20 = 62
For 1,984 printers it would take 32 machines (1984/62 = 32)
32 needed minus the 20 they already have means they need 12 more machines.
Answer:
y=-3x^2+12x+63
Step-by-step explanation:
y=-3(x-7)(x+3)
y=-3(x^2-4x-21)
y=-3x^2+12x+63
