To find the inverse we have to first change the function notation to 'y'
So
f(x) = -x becomes y = -x
Next, we have to switch the x and y values
So, y = -x becomes x = -y
Now, we have to solve for y.
y = -x
So the inverse of f(x) = -x is:
Answer: cost of 1 pot of ivy = $12
Cost of 1 rose bush =$ 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let rose bushes be represented as r
and pot of ivy be represented as p
such that Amy who spent 82 dollars on 7 rose bushes and 1 pot of ivy can be expressed as
7 r + p = 82----- eqn 1
Rob who spent 74 on 5 rose bushes and 2 pots of ivy can be expressed as
5r +2 p = 74----- eqn 2
Step 2
Solving
7 r + p = 82----- eqn 1
5r +2 p = 74----- eqn 2
By elimination method Multiply eqn 1 by 5 and eqn 2 by 7
35r+ 5p= 410--- eqn 3
35r+ 14p =518--- eqn 4
Subtracting eqn 4 from eqn 3
9p = 108
p = 108/9
p=12
p = pot of ivy = $12
therefore rose bush wll be ( from equation 1)
7r+ p= 82
7r=82-12
7r= 70 r= 70/7
r= rose bush =$ 10
7932 x 56 = 444192 and since it’s asking you to multiply by .56 and 793.2, just move the decimal over to the left three places in your answer since there’s three digits after the decimals in your factors. so you get 444.192
