Finding the inverse function for f(x)=1/x^2

1 answer:

4 0

to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables and then solve for "y".

$\stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\cfrac{1}{x^2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{x=\cfrac{1}{y^2}}\implies y^2=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies y=\sqrt{\cfrac{1}{x}}\implies \stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y}=\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}$

1. 75/300 = x/48 (your proportion)
2. x= 12

3. 30/240 = x/24 (your proportion)
4. x= 3

Your answer would come out to 15 miles total.

The low temperature for 5 days was -5, -7, -2, 2, -3 degrees. What was the average low temperature for those days?

Greeley [361]

The average would be -3. You add all the low temps up and get -15 then you divide it by the amount which was 5 temps... And get -3.

What is the question of the line that passes through the point (-2,-2) and has a slope of 4. Plz someone answer

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:y=4x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the information that the slope is 4 and the line goes through the point (-2,-2). With this information, we can make a linear equation in a point slope form ( $y - y_{1}= m * (x - x_{1})$ , so the equation would be $y+2=4(x+2)$ , or simplified, $y+2=4x+8.$ in order to solve for y (to make it a slope-intercept equation), we must subtract 2 from both sides. This gives us the equation y=4x+6. Hope this helps!
