Let k(w)= w+3/w+9. Find k^-1(-4)

Mathematics

DENIUS [597]3 years ago

Answer:

\displaystyle k^{-1} (-4) = -\frac{39}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

\displaystyle k(w) = \frac{w + 3}{w + 9}

And we want to find k⁻¹(-4).

Recall that by the definition of inverse functions:

\displaystyle \text{If } f(a) = b, \text{ then } f^{-1}(b) = a

Let k⁻¹(-4) = <em>x, </em>where <em>x</em> is an unknown value. Then by definition, k(x) must equal -4.

So:

\displaystyle k(x) = \frac{x+3}{x+9} = -4

Solve for <em>x: </em>

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \frac{x+3}{x+9} &= -4 \\ \\ x+3 &= -4(x+9) \\ \\ x+3 &= -4x - 36 \\ \\ x &= -\frac{39}{5} \end{aligned}

Hence, k(-39/5) = -4. By definition of inverse functions, then, k⁻¹(-4) = -39/5.

-10x+4.
5x-7x is -2.
-2x-8x is -10x.
you cannot simplify the 4

alternatively, you could write -10x+4 as

Gustavo ha forrado una pared de 12,5 m cuadrados con 50 paneles cuadrados iguales de madera ¿ Cuantos decímetros cuadrados mide
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

25 dm²

Step-by-step explanation:

La superficie de nuestra pared tiene 12.5 m²

Si dividimos la superficie por la cantidad de paneles cuadrados, obtenemos la superficie de cada panel

12.5 m² /50 = 0.25 m²

Sabemos que la superficie de un cuadrado se calcula como l²

Convertimos los 0.25 m² a dm² → 0.25 m² . 100 dm² / 1m² = 25 dm²

Esa es la medida de cada papel.

Si calculamos la medida de cada lado será:

√ (25 dm²) = 5 dm

En conclusión un cuadrado con 5 dm de lado tiene 25dm² de superficie

Si convertimos a m² = 0.25 m²

0.25 m² es la medida que cubre 1 panel de papel

para cubrir 12.5 m² necesitariamos (12.5  . 1) /0.25 = 50 paneles.
