3x(4x - 15) < Given
12x^2 - 45x < Distributive law of property
By the way, you are simplifying not solving. You solve equations and simplify expressions.
The question is "What is the scale of the model to the actual statue"
That means you must put 2/15.
2 being the model
15 being the actual statue
Take that fraction and equal is to 1/x.
Multiply 15 to 1 and 2 to x.
In the end, to solve, you divide 15 by 2x.
The answer is X=7.5
1 : 7.5
So if you're asked to graph a function and its inverse, all you have to do is graph the function and then switch all x and y values in each point to graph the inverse. Just look at all those values switching places from the f(x) function to its inverse g(x) (and back again), reflected over the line y = x.
