What is the inverse of f(x) =1/3 x + 2?
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To begin, we will replace f(x) with y, since they mean the same thing, except y does not represent function notation. We will put it back when we're done.
The rules for finding an inverse function algebraically is to switch the x and the y, then solve for the new y. Our function then becomes, with the variables switched:
Begin to isolate the new y by subtracting 2 from both sides:
Now multiply both sides by 3:
3(x - 2) = y and
3x - 6 = y
That's the inverse, so now we will put it back into function notation:

Draw ΔABC as shown in the figure below.
m∠B = 137°, b = 14, c = 9.
From the Law of Sines,
sin(C)/c = sin(B)/b
or
sin(C)/9 = sin(137°)/14
sin(C) = (9/14)*sin(137°) = 0.4384
m∠C = arcsin(0.4384) = 26°
Because the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, therefore
m∠A = 180 -137 - 26 = 17°
From the Law of Sines,
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)
or
a/sin(17°) = 14/sin(137°)
a = (sin(17°)/sin(127°))*14 = 6
Answer:
The solution for the triangle is
a = 6, b = 14, c = 9
m∠A = 17°, m∠B = 137°, m∠C = 26°
m∠B = 137°, b = 14, c = 9.
From the Law of Sines,
sin(C)/c = sin(B)/b
or
sin(C)/9 = sin(137°)/14
sin(C) = (9/14)*sin(137°) = 0.4384
m∠C = arcsin(0.4384) = 26°
Because the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, therefore
m∠A = 180 -137 - 26 = 17°
From the Law of Sines,
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)
or
a/sin(17°) = 14/sin(137°)
a = (sin(17°)/sin(127°))*14 = 6
Answer:
The solution for the triangle is
a = 6, b = 14, c = 9
m∠A = 17°, m∠B = 137°, m∠C = 26°
