Answer:
f^-1(x) = (x +4)/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The inverse function is found by swapping x and y, then solving for y.
y = 3x -4 . . . . . function y = f(x)
x = 3y -4 . . . . . inverse relation
x +4 = 3y . . . . add 4
(x +4)/3 = y . . . divide by 3. This is the inverse function
f^-1(x) = (x +4)/3
x^2 = the first integer
(x - 1)^2 = the second integer.
x^2 - (x - 1)^2 = ?
First, let's plug a number into our equation for x.
(2)^2 - (2 - 1)^2 = ?
4 - (1)^2 = ?
4 - 1 = 3
As we can see the difference is odd but it's also the sum of the two consecutive integers.
2 + 1 = 3.
This works for all numbers. Let's plug another number into our equation for x.
(4)^2 - (4 - 1)^2 = ?
16 - (3)^2 = ?
16 - 9 = 7
4 + 3 = 7
Try any number and it will always be odd.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1) Find two corresponding lengths between the image and the pre-image</u>
Pre-image (bottom side) = 3 units
Image (bottom side) = 9 units
We can use any corresponding lengths for this step.
<u>2) Divide the length of the side from the image by the length of the side from the pre-image</u>
9 units ÷ 3 units
= 3
Therefore, the scale factor of the dilation is 3.
I hope this helps!
