Answer:

\displaystyle a = \frac{1}{3} \text{ and } b = \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the definition of inverse functions. Recall that if two functions, <em>f</em> and <em>g</em> are inverses, then:

\displaystyle f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x

So, we can let <em>j</em> be the inverse function of <em>h</em>.

Function <em>h</em> is given by:

\displaystyle h(x) = y = 3x-2

Find its inverse. Flip variables:

x = 3y - 2

Solve for <em>y. </em>Add:

\displaystyle x + 2 = 3y

Hence:

\displaystyle h^{-1}(x) = j(x) = \frac{x+2}{3} = \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{2}{3}

Therefore, <em>a</em> = 1/3 and <em>b</em> = 2/3.

We can verify our solution:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} h(j(x)) &= h\left( \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{2}{3}\right) \\ \\ &= 3\left(\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{2}{3}\right) -2 \\ \\ &= (x + 2) -2 \\ \\ &= x \end{aligned}

And:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} j(h(x)) &= j\left(3x-2\right) \\ \\ &= \frac{1}{3}\left( 3x-2\right)+\frac{2}{3} \\ \\ &=\left( x- \frac{2}{3}\right) + \frac{2}{3} \\ \\ &= x  \stackrel{\checkmark}{=} x\end{aligned}

2x + 9 = -65
2x = -65 - 9
2x = -74
x = -74/2
x = -37

So, your final answer is -37

Hope this helps!

Adam cut a piece of string 42 inches long into 2 pieces. The ratio of the length of the 2 peices is 3:4, what is the length, to
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Shorter piece length is 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's marked first piece with x and second with y

x + y = 42

Given ratio is x : y = 3 : 4

From this proportion we get

x = 3 c  and y = 4 c   where c is coefficient of proportionality

when we replace this in initial equation we get

3 c + 4 c = 42 => 7 c = 42 => c = 42/7 = 6    c = 6

x = 3 · 6 = 18 inches  and z = 4 · 6 = 24 inches

shorter piece is x = 18 inches

God with you!!!

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Axioms are generally statements made about real numbers. ... Sometimes they are called algebraic postulates. Often what they say about real numbers holds true for geometric figures, and since real numbers are an important part of geometry when it comes to measuring figures, axioms are very useful
