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.

Simplify. What is your answer 8x + 9d + 3x -5d
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

11x + 4d

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 9d + 3x -5d

To simplify this we have to group them by their like terms i.e.

= 8x + 3x + 9d - 5d

= 11x + 4d
