the numbers are being divided by 4 so 12/4 =3
next number is 3
The answer to the equation is x < 2.
A word to the wise: It's <span> f(x)=125(0.9)^x, where ^ represents exponentiation.
In this case the ave. value over the interval [11, 15] is
125(0.9)^15 - 125(0.9)^11
------------------------------------- = (125/4) [ 0.9^15 - 0.9^11)
15 - 11 = (31.25) [ 0.2059 - 0.3138 ] = a negative result
= (31.25)(-0.1079) = -3.372 (av. r. of c.
over the interval [11,15] )
Do the same thing for the time interval [1,5]. Then compare the two rates of change.</span>
For this case we must find the inverse of the following function:

We follow the steps below:
Replace f(x) with y:

We exchange the variables:

We solve for "y":

Multiply by -2 on both sides of the equation:

We raise both sides of the equation to the square to eliminate the radical:

We subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:

We change y by f ^ {- 1} (x):
