What is the equation of the inverse function A(n)=3n-20

Answer:

A^{-1}(n)=\frac{1}{3}n+\frac{20}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's change those variables to x and y, just for the sake of convenience.  In order to find the inverse of a function algebraically, switch the x and y coordinates, then solve for the new y.  Letting y = A(n) and x = n (we will switch them back when we're done):

y = 3x - 20.  This is linear; a line with a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of -20.  When we switch the x and the y, we get:

x = 3y - 20.  Now we solve for the new y.  Begin by adding 20 to both sides:

x + 20 = 3y.  Now divide both sides by 3:

\frac{x+20}{3}=y, or to write it in slope-intercept form, like the function you started with:

y=\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{20}{3}

This is also a line, with a slope of 1/3 and a y-intercept of +20/3

Now, replacing:

A^{-1}(n)=\frac{1}{3}n+\frac{20}{3}

That is how to write the inverse using function notation.  The little -1 as an exponent tells us that this is the inverse of the function A(n).

Given (x – 7)2 = 36, select the values of x.
Aneli [31]
Regroup
2(x-7)=36
Divide both sides by two
X-7= 36/2
Simplify 36/2 to 18
X-7=18
Add 7 to both sides
X=18+7
Simplify 18+7 to 25
X = 25

The area of the shaded region​
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

37.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Large circle = \pir² = \pi5² = 78.54

Medium circle = \pi3²= 28.27

Small circle = \pi2²= 12.57

78.54-28.27-12.57 = 37.7
