Answer:

11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB and CD  are parallel, ∠D is congruent to ∠A and ∠C is congruent to ∠B.  Therefore the two triangles are similar by the AA postulate.  Now, the corresponding sides are in proportion

Since AE ↔ DE and AB ↔ CD

So, AE/CD = AB/CD

AE/5 = 9/4

AE = 9(5)/4

     = 45/4  = 11.25

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x + 1?
aliina [53]
First, conceptually understand what an inverse function is, it makes solving it very intuitive.  An inverse function is simply a function which has points (y,x) for every point (x,y) of the parent function.  So you are essentially taking all points of the parent function and switching the x and y coordinates for each.  Those switched coordinates are produced by the "inverse function".

Mathematically then, finding the inverse function is a matter of solving for x and then switching the variable labels.  In this case:

y=2x+1  subtract 1 from both sides

y-1=2x  divide both sides by 2

(y-1)/2=x  now just switch the labels for the variables...

y=(x-1)/2  so

f^-1(x)=(x-1)/2  is the inverse of f(x)=2x+1
