The correct answer is f^-1(x)=1/2x+2.

1. Substitute y for f(x). ( y=2x+4 )

2. Interchange the variables x and y. ( x=2y-4 )

3. Swap the sides. ( 2y-4=x )

4. Move the constant to the right. ( 2y=x+4 )

5. Divide both sides by 2. ( y=1/2x+2 )

6. Use substitution to substitute f^-1(x) for y.

Thus the inverse is f^-1(x)=1/2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

abc = 1

We have to prove that,

$\frac{1}{1+a+b^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+b+c^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+c+a^{-1}}=1$

We take left hand side of the given equation and solve it,

$\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+\frac{1}{c}}+\frac{1}{1+c+\frac{1}{a}}$

Since, abc = 1,

$\frac{1}{c}=ab$ and c = $\frac{1}{ab}$

By substituting these values in the expression,

$\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+\frac{1}{c}}+\frac{1}{1+c+\frac{1}{a}}=\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+ab}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{ab}+\frac{1}{a}}$

$=\frac{b}{b+ab+1}+\frac{1}{1+b+ab}+\frac{ab}{ab+1+b}$

$=\frac{1+b+ab}{1+b+ab}$

$=1$

Which equal to the right hand side of the equation.

Hence, $\frac{1}{1+a+b^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+b+c^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+c+a^{-1}}=1$

A pizza parlor offers 3 sizes of pizzas, 2 types of crust, and one of 4 different toppings. How many different pizzas can be mad

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer: The total number of pizzas that can be made from the given choices is 24.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a pizza parlor offers 3 sizes of pizzas, 2 types of crust, and one of 4 different toppings.

We are to find the number of different pizzas that can be made from the given choices.

We have the COUNTING PRINCIPLE :

If we have m ways of doing one task and n ways of doing the second task, then the number of ways in which we can do both the tasks together is m×n.

Therefore, the number of different pizzas that can be made from the given choices is

$N=3\times2\times4=24.$

Thus, the total number of pizzas that can be made from the given choices is 24.

Q and R are independent events. P(Q) = 0.4; P(Q AND R) = 0.08. Find P(R).

algol [13]

Because Q and R are independent, you have

$\mathbb P(Q\cap R)=\mathbb P(Q)\times\mathbb P(R)$
$0.08=0.4\times\mathbb P(R)$
$\implies \mathbb P(R)=0.2$
