What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x + 1?
timama [110]

Answer:

  (a)  h(x) = 1/2x -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse of the function y = f(x) is found by solving x = f(y).

__

<h3>setup</h3>

  x = f(y)

  x = 2y +1 . . . . . . use the definition of f(x)

<h3>solution</h3>

  x -1 = 2y . . . . . subtract 1

  (x -1)/2 = y . . . . divide by 2

  y = 1/2x -1/2 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  h(x) = 1/2x -1/2 . . . write in functional form

The inverse of f(x) = 2x+1 is ...

  h(x) = 1/2x -1/2

on a certain hot Summer's Day 613 people use the public swimming pool the daily prices are $1.75 for children $2.25 for adults t
Elodia [21]

389 children and 224 adults were at the pool that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one child ticket = $1.75

Cost of one adult ticket = $2.25

Total people = 613

Total receipts worth = $1184.75

Let,

Number of children = x

Number of adults = y

According to given statement;

x+y=613    Eqn 1

1.75x+2.25y=1184.75    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 1.75

1.75(x+y=613)\\1.75x+1.75y=1072.75\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(1.75x+2.25y)-(1.75x+1.75y)=1184.75-1072.75\\1.75x+2.25y-1.75x-1.75y=112.00\\0.50y=112.00

Dividing both sides by 0.50

\frac{0.50y}{0.50}=\frac{112.00}{0.50}\\y=224

Putting y=224 in Eqn 1

x+224=613\\x=613-224\\x=389\\

389 children and 224 adults were at the pool that day.

Brian needs to find the value of a number, a, so that when (x^2+3x) is added to the binomial (3x^2+ax), the sum simplifies to 4x
Julli [10]

Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to add  (x^2+3x)  to (3x^2+ax),

(x^2+3x)+(3x^2+ax)

Expand

= x^2+3x+3x^2+ax

Collect the like terms

= x^2+3x^2+3x+ax

= 4x^2 + 3x + ax

= 4x^2+(3+a)x

Equate the solution to 4x^2+12x

4x^2+(3+a)x = 4x^2+12x

Comparing the like terms on both sides

(3+a)x =12x

3 + a = 12

a = 12 - 3

a = 9

Hence the value of a is 9
