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}

Please help!!!!<br> I desperately need the correct answer I’ve been trying all day!
zysi [14]

Answer:14708

Step-by-step explanation:Exponential Functions:

y=abxy=ab^x this is not right      not correct

y=ab

x

a=starting value = 13000a=\text{starting value = }13000

a=starting value = 13000

r=rate = 2.5%=0.025r=\text{rate = }2.5\% = 0.025

r=rate = 2.5%=0.025

Exponential Growth:\text{Exponential Growth:}

Exponential Growth:

b=1+r=1+0.025=1.025b=1+r=1+0.025=1.025

b=1+r=1+0.025=1.025

Write Exponential Function:

y=13000(1.025)xy=13000(1.025)^x

y=13000(1.025)

x

Put it all together

Plug in time for x:\text{Plug in time for x:}

Plug in time for x:

y=13000(1.025)5y=13000(1.025)^{5}

y=13000(1.025)

5

y=14708.30677y= 14708.30677

y=14708.30677

Evaluate

y≈14708y\approx 14708

y≈14708

What are the potential solutions of In(x^2-25)=0?
Maslowich

Answer:

x =\pm \sqrt{26}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

  • ln ( x² - 25 ) = 0

And we need to find the potential solutions of it. The given equation is the logarithm of x² - 25 to the base e . e is Euler's Number here. So it can be written as ,

<u>Equation</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\implies log_e {(x^2-25)}= 0

<u>In </u><u>general</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

  • If we have a logarithmic equation as ,

\implies log_a b = c

Then this can be written as ,

\implies a^c = b

In a similar way we can write the given equation as ,

\implies e^0 = x^2 - 25

  • Now also we know that a^0 = 1 Therefore , the equation becomes ,

\implies 1 = x^2 - 25 \\\\\implies x^2 = 25 + 1 \\\\\implies x^2 = 26 \\\\\implies x =\sqrt{26} \\\\\implies x = \pm \sqrt{ 26}

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>the</u><u> given</u><u> equation</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>±</u><u>√</u><u>2</u><u>6</u><u>.</u>

Mario is setting up a new tent during a camping trip. The tent came with 7 feet of rope. The instructions are to use 34.5 inches
nevsk [136]

Answer: There are 6 sections of  8\frac{1}{4}\ inches  of rope Mario can cut from the rope .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of the rope for the tent = 7 feet

As we know that

1\ feet=12\ inches\\\\7\ feet=12\times 7=84\ inches

Length of rope is used to tie a tarp on top of the tent = 34.5 inches

Remaining length of rope is given by

84-34.5=49.5\ inches

According to question, the remaining rope should be cut into

8\frac{1}{4}\ inches\\\\=\frac{33}{4}\ inches

So, Number of  8\frac{1}{4}\ inches sections of rope Mario can cut from the rope is given by

\frac{49.5}{8\frac{1}{4}}\\\\=\frac{49.5}{\frac{33}{4}}\\\\=\frac{49.5\times 4}{33}\\\\=6

Hence, there are 6 sections of 8\frac{1}{4}\ inches rope Mario can cut from the rope .

Solve 0.5x^2+6x+5=0
Lelu [443]
I hope this helps you




x^2/2+12x/2+10/2=0




x^2+12x+10=0


ax^2+bx+c=0



disctirminant =b^2-4ac


x1,2=-b (-,+) square root of disctirminant /2a



a=1 b=12 c=10


disctirminant = 12^2-4.1.10=144-40=104


x1= -12+square root of 104/2


x2= -12- square root of 104/2
