Lines that never intersect
For number 3.
You add 8 to both sides as you need to separate the variable
4x-8=32
+8 +8
4x=32
now divide 32 by 4
x=8
for number 4
you use pemdas to multiply the parenthisis
2(x-5)=-20
(2•x)-(2•5)
2x-10=-20
then add 10 to both sides
2x-10=-20
+10 +10
2x=10
divide 10 by two
x=5
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
No
Discussion:
If the functions are inverses, then f(g(x)) = x for appropriate x. Consider x = 1.
g(1) = 1/ (5(1) + 1) = 1/6
f(g(1)) = f (1/6) = 5(1/6) + 1/ (1/6) = 5/6 + 6 = 6 5/6 <> 1
Conclusion: f(g(1)) <> 1 so the functions are not inverses
Thank you,
