Answer:

  See attached for graphs

  g(x) -- domain: -∞ < x < ∞; range: 0 < y < ∞

  g^-1(x) -- domain: 0 < x < ∞; range: -∞ < y < ∞

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) is an exponential decay function. Its base is 1/3, so each increase of 1 unit in x will multiply the y-value by a factor of 1/3. The graph will rapidly approach its horizontal asymptote of y=0 as x gets large. The y-intercept is (0, 1). Just as y gets smaller as x increases, so it gets larger as x decreases. Each decrease of x by 1 unit causes the y-value to be multiplied by 3.

__

The graph of g^-1(x) is the graph of g(x) reflected across the line y=x. That is, each coordinate pair (x, y) on the graph of g(x) becomes a point (y, x) on the graph of the inverse function. In order to graph g^-1(x), you don't need to write down the function, you only need to know the relationship between the graphs.

Just as x- and y- are interchanged on the graph, so the domain, range, and intercepts are interchanged. g^-1(x) will have a vertical asymptote of x=0, and an x-intercept of (1, 0). The domain of g^-1(x) is the range of g(x): 0 < x < ∞; and the range of g^-1(x) is the domain of g(x): -∞ < y < ∞.

__

The attached graph shows g(x) in red and g^-1(x) in blue. As you can see, we created the graph simply by interchanging x and y. The line y=x is shown for reference, so you can see that each curve is a reflection of the other across that line.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The explicit expression for g^-1(x) can be found by solving for y:

  x = g(y)

  x=\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^y=\dfrac{1}{3^y}=3^{-y}\\\\ \log(x)=-y\cdot\log(3)\qquad\text{take logarithms}\\\\y=-\dfrac{\log{x}}{\log{3}}=-\log_3{x}\qquad\text{use the change of base relation}\\\\\boxed{g^{-1}(x)=-\log_3{x}}

If you're familiar with the log function, you know it has an x-intercept of 1 and a vertical asymptote at x=0. The base of the log function is simply a vertical scale factor. The minus sign reflects it across the x-axis.

How does adding a solute ( use only one - salt or sugar) effect the time of water to change from a liquid to a solid?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

adding salt makes the water freeze slower and evaporate slower too.

Step-by-step explanation:

While pure water freezes at 0°C (32°F), salt water needs to be colder before it freezes and so it usually takes longer to freeze. The more salt in the water, the lower the freezing point.

The length of the rectangle is 4cm less than its width . what are the dimensions of the rectangle if its area is 140
melomori [17]
Let the width of the rectangle be x
Then length =x-4
Area=x(x-4)=140
x²-4x=140
x²-4x-140=0
x²-14x+10x-140=0
x(x-14)+10(x-14)=0
(x-14)(x+10)=0
Therefore,length=14 cm and  width=10 cm
