Hello!

The best way to solve this is to replace X for Y, and Y for X.

---------------------------------------------

A sample problem to help:

4x +8 = y  

4y +8 = x  (switched X and Y)

Y + 8 = 1/4x (solve for Y)

-8            -8

y = 1/4x -8

(now your almost done, since this is function, we need to change y to be f(x))

f(x) = 1/4 - 8

---------------------------------------------

Now that you have a basic understanding, let's do the ones you listed!

We are looking to see if the equations are inverses of the equation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. f(x) = 2/3x - 7         g(x) = 3/2x + 7

First: You use equation f(x), and change f(x) to y:

y = 2/3x - 7

Next: You switch x and y:

x = 2/3y - 7

Now solve for y.

x = 2/3y - 7

+7            +7

x + 7 = 2/3y

*\frac{3}{2}       *\frac{3}{2}

y = \frac{3}{2}x + 5

(Set it to f(x) )

f(x) = \frac{3}{2}x + 5

Now look to see if it matches with the second equation.

f(x) = \frac{3}{2}x + 5     g(x) = 3/2x + 7

It doesn't, so it is not the inverse of each other.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. f(x) = -2x - 1           f(x) =-1/2x - 1/2

First: You use equation f(x), and change f(x) to y:

y = -2x - 1

Next: You switch x and y:

x = -2y - 1

Now solve for y.

x = -2y - 1

+1        +1

x + 1 = -2y

/-2   /-2

-1/2x + 1/2 = y

(Set it to f(x) )

f(x) = -1/2x + 1/2

Now look to see if it matches with the second equation.

f(x) = -1/2x + 1/2          f(x) =-1/2x - 1/2

It does, so it is the inverse of each other.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. f(x) = \frac{x+1}{2}               g(x) = 2x - 1

First: You use equation f(x), and change f(x) to y:

y = \frac{x+1}{2}

Next: You switch x and y:

x = \frac{y+1}{2}

Now solve for y.

x = \frac{y+1}{2}

*2    *2

2x = y + 1

-1        -1

y = 2x - 1

(Set it to f(x) )

f(x) = 2x - 1

Now look to see if it matches with the second equation.

f(x) = 2x - 1     g(x) = 2x - 1

It does, so it is the inverse of each other.

Geo 3 - What Makes a Rectangle?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Just read explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. It can also be defined as an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its angles are equal. It can also be defined as a parallelogram containing a right angle. A rectangle with four sides of equal length is a square. The term oblong is occasionally used to refer to a non-square rectangle. A rectangle with vertices ABCD would be denoted as ABCD.

Solve the following using distributive property:327×105
Aliun [14]

Distributive Property:

The distributive property tells us how to solve expressions in the form of a(b + c).

a(b+c) =a*b +a*c

In this question we have to find two numbers that add up to give 105,

105 =100+5

Now replacing 105 by 100 + 5, rewriting the expression as :

327 *105 = 327 (100+5)

distributing 327 over 100 and 5

here a=327, b =100 and c=5

327 (100+5) = 327*100 +327 *5

= 32700 + 1635

Answer:

327*105 = 34335

wolverine [178]
When you rotate it clockwise
lets say you have thepoint (a,b)
when you rotate it clockwise you are left with the points (-b,-a)

so

D=(-4,0)
therefor
negative and switch
new point is
