Given:
The function is:
To find:
The inverse of the given function, then draw the graphs of function and its inverse.
Solution:
We have,
Step 1: Substitute .
Step 2: Interchange x and y.
Step 3: Isolate variable y.
Step 4: Substitute .
Hence, the inverse of the given function is and the graphs of these functions are shown below.
Part (a)
Consecutive odd integers are integers that odd and they follow one right after another. If x is odd, then x+2 is the next odd integer
For example, if x = 7, then x+2 = 9 is right after.
<h3>Answer: x+2</h3>========================================================
Part (b)
The consecutive odd integers we're dealing with are x and x+2.
Their squares are x^2 and (x+2)^2, and these squares add to 394.
<h3>Answer: x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 394</h3>========================================================
Part (c)
We'll solve the equation we just set up.
x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 394
x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 394
2x^2+4x+4-394 = 0
2x^2+4x-390 = 0
2(x^2 + 2x - 195) = 0
x^2 + 2x - 195 = 0
You could factor this, but the quadratic formula avoids trial and error.
Use a = 1, b = 2, c = -195 in the quadratic formula.
If x = 13, then x+2 = 13+2 = 15
Then note how x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 13^2 + 15^2 = 169 + 225 = 394
Or we could have x = -15 which leads to x+2 = -15+2 = -13
So, x^2 + (x+2)^2 = (-15)^2 + (-13)^2 = 225 + 169 = 394
We get the same thing either way.
<h3>Answer: Either 13, 15 or -15, -13</h3>
