Answer:

Using the equation y = abx , substitute both of your given points into that equation.

2 = ab2 and 4 = ab3 Solve each equation for a.

2⁄b2 and 4⁄b3 = a Therefore, 2⁄b2 = 4⁄b3

Cross multiply: 2b3 = 4b2 Divide both sides by b2

2b = 4 a = 2/4 = 1/2

b = 2

y = 1 (2)x

Which describes the behavior of the function f(x)= tan^-1(x)?

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Third Option

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the function $tan(x)$ is defined as $y=\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}$ . Since the denominator is $cos(x)$ then we know that $cos(x)=0$ when $x=\frac{\pi}{2}$

We also know that the division by 0 is not defined. Therefore, the limit of $y=tan(x)$ when "x" tends to $\frac{\pi}{2}$ is infinite.

The function $tan^{-1}(x)$ is the inverse of $tan(x)$

By definition, if we have a function f(x), its domain will be equal to the range of its inverse function $f^{-1}(x)$ . If $f(3)=8$ , then $f^{-1}(8)=3$
