In order to find the inverse of a function,you always do this process. First you would right the normal equation out. After that,you switch the x and y terms around. Then you would solve like a normal 2-step or however many long equation. By flipping the x and y values,you get what the other variable creates
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Solving (a): The population mean
This is calculated as:

So, we have:



Solving (b): The population standard deviation
This is calculated as:

So, we have:




To do this we need to find all the pairs of factors of 18.
These are:
- 18 and 1
- 9 and 2
- 6 and 3
From this we can see there are 3 ways of making a rectangle from 18 cubes
The option are missing in the question. The options are :
A. P = 2, a = 1
B. 
C. 
D. P = 2, a = 3
Solution :
The given function is 
So for the function to be an exponential growth, a should be a positive number and should be larger than 1. If it less than 1 or a fraction, then it is a decay. If the value of a is negative, then it would be between positive and negative alternately.
When the four option being substituted in the function, we get
A). It is a constant function since 
B). Here, the value of a is a fraction which is less than 1, so it is a decay function. 
C). It is a constant function since the value of a is 1.
D). Here a = 3. So substituting, as the value of x increases by 1, the value of the function, f(x) increases by 3 times.

Therefore, option (D). represents an exponential function.
