Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, if two functions, <em>f</em> and <em>g</em>, are inverses, then:

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

We are given the two functions:

\displaystyle g(x) = \sqrt{x + 8} -4 \text{ and } f(x) = x^2 + 8x + 8

Find f(g(x)) and g(f(x)):

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} f(g(x)) &= (\sqrt{x + 8} -4)^2 + 8(\sqrt{ x+ 8}-4) + 8 \\ \\ &= ((x+8) -8\sqrt{x + 8} +16) + 8\sqrt{x + 8} - 32 + 8 \\ \\ &= x + (-8\sqrt{x+8} + 8\sqrt{x + 8}) +(16 - 32 + 8 + 8) \\ \\ &= x \stackrel{\checkmark}{=} x\end{aligned}

And:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}g(f(x)) &= \sqrt{(x^2 + 8x + 8) + 8} - 4 \\ \\ &= \sqrt{x^2 + 8x+16 } - 4 \\ \\ &=\sqrt{(x+ 4)^2} - 4 \\ \\ &= (x  +4) - 4 \\ \\ &= x \stackrel{\checkmark}{=} x  \end{aligned}

Hence, <em>f</em> and <em>g</em> are indeed inverses of each other.

Among all rectangles that have a perimeter of 182, find the dimensions of the one whose area is largest.
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

<em>The largest rectangle of perimeter 182 is a square of side 45.5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Maximization Using Derivatives</u>

The procedure consists in finding an appropriate function that depends on only one variable. Then, the first derivative of the function will be found, equated to 0 and find the maximum or minimum values.

Suppose we have a rectangle of dimensions x and y. The area of that rectangle is:

A=x.y

And the perimeter is

P=2x+2y

We know the perimeter is 182, thus

2x+2y=182

Simplifying

x+y=91

Solving for y

y=91-x

The area is

A=x.(91-x)=91x-x^2

Taking the derivative:

A'=91-2x

Equating to 0

91-2x=0

Solving

x=91/2=45.5

Finding y

y=91-x=45.5

The largest rectangle of perimeter 182 is a square of side 45.5

Solve 15 ≥ -3x or x ≥ -2.
vivado [14]

Answer:

x ≥ - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve the compound inequality.

It is 15 ≥ - 3x or x ≥ - 2

Now, from the first part we have  

15 ≥ -3x

⇒ -\frac{1}{3} \times 15 \leq  -\frac{1}{3}(- 3x)

⇒ - 5 ≤ x

⇒ x ≥ - 5 ....... (1)

And the second part is x ≥ -2 ......... (2)

Therefore, the conditions (1) and (2) will both be true if x ≥ - 2.

Hence, this is the solution. (Answer)
