Absolute value and piecewise function explanation tooo plz

Mathematics
1 answer:
Darina [25.2K]3 years ago
6 0

Because of the "x-5" in the absolute value, the pieces will separate at x=5, because that's where x-5 = 0.

(This knocks out answer #1, 3, and 4)

To confirm option #2 is correct:

If you pick a number greater than 5, the absolute value doesn't do anything, so

  if x > 5, a(x) = (x-5) + 1

If you pick a number less than 5, "x-5" is negative and the absolute value gives you the opposite of that value:

  if x < 5, a(x) = - (x-5) +1

The answer is the second option.

Complete the equation of the line whose slope is 555 and yyy-intercept is (0,4)(0,4)left parenthesis, 0, comma, 4, right parenth
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

y = 5x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line passing through a point (x', y') and having slope 'm' is represented by,

y - y' = m(x - x')

If the point through which the given line is passing is (0, 4) and slope of the line is '5'

Equation of the line will be

y - 4 = 5(x - 0)

y = 5x + 4

Therefore, equation of given line is y = 5x + 4

The inverse of the function are respectively; f⁻¹(3) = 2 and f⁻¹(8) = 8.5

<h3>How to find the inverse of a Function?</h3>

The formula to find the equation of this function using two coordinates is;

(y - y1)/(x - x1) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Using the first 2 coordinates, we have;

(y - 1)/(x + 1) = (3 - 1)/(2 + 1)

(y - 1)/(x + 1) = 2/3

3y - 3 = 2x + 2

3y = 2x + 5

y = ¹/₃(2x + 5)

Thus, the inverse is;

f⁻¹(x) = (3x - 5)/2

Thus;

f⁻¹(3) = (3*3 - 5)/2

f⁻¹(3) = 2

Similarly;

f⁻¹(x) = (3x - 5)/2

Thus;

f⁻¹(8) = (3*8 - 5)/2

f⁻¹(8) = 8.5
