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.

How do I Graph y=  –73x+2 .
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

See attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

You can obtain any two points on the graph of y=-73x+2 and use it to draw its graph.

When x=0, y=-73*0+2=2

So you plot (0,2)

When x=1, y=-73*1+2=-71

You again plot (1,-71).

With a straight edge you can now draw a straight line through the two points.

How do i turn standard form into slope intercept?
Jlenok [28]
Write it in y= mx+b form. Subtract 5x from both sides to get 4y = -5x + 100. Divide by 4 so the answer would be y= -5/4x + 25.
