Determine the equation of the inverse of y=-4/x+1

The inverse is y=-a/x-b where a = _____ and b = ___

Answers

Answer 1
To determine the inverse of a function, we first write the parent function in terms of y. So, in this part the x would be isolated to one side of the equation. Then, with the new form of the parent function, we switch the x into y and y to x. The new function would be the inverse function. For the given function, we do as follows:

 y=-4/x + 1 
y - 1 = -4/x
x ( y - 1 ) = -4
x = -4 / (y -1)

Replacing x into y and y into x,

y = -4 / (x -1)

Therefore, the inverse is y=-a/x-b where a = 4 and b = 1.

How can x2 = x2 + 2x + 9 be set up as a system of equations?

Answers

Final answer:

To set up x^2 = x^2 + 2x + 9 as a system of equations, we would have x^2 = x^2 + 2x + 9 and x = -4.5.

Explanation:

To set up x2 = x2 + 2x + 9 as a system of equations, we can separate it into two separate equations:

Equation 1: x2 = x2 + 2x + 9

Equation 2: 0 = 2x + 9

By rearranging Equation 2, we can rewrite it as:

x = -4.5

Therefore, the system of equations for x2 = x2 + 2x + 9 is: x2 = x2 + 2x + 9 and x = -4.5.

The cost of painting a circular traffic sign is $3.50 per square foot. How much, to the nearest dollar, will it cost to paint the sign if its diameter measures 36 INCHES.

Answers

area of a circle = pi x r^2

using 3.14 for pi

 radius = 36/2 =18

area = 3.14 x 18^2 = 1017.36 square inches

1017.36/144 = 7.065 sq ft

7.065*3.50 = $24.73 to the nearest dollar = $25

What is the slope of the line on the graph below?

A. -1/2

Answers

Answer: choice D) the slope is 2

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

Work Shown:

Pick any two points on the line. I'm going to pick (0,1) and (1,3)

Label these two points as (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
So,
(x1,y1) = (0,1) meaning that x1 = 0 and y1 = 1
(x2,y2) = (1,3) meaning that x2 = 1 and y2 = 3

Now use the slope formula
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (3-1)/(1-0)
m = 2/1
m = 2

Going from (0,1) to (1,3) we move 2 units up and 1 unit to the right. 
The "2 units up" is the "rise"
The "1 unit to the right" is the "run"

Slope = rise/run = (change in y)/(change in x)

best answer is b = it has exactly 1 x intercept

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for x-intercept the graph crosses x-axis i.e the value of y = 0.

As in the table, the value of y is changing from negative to positive, so it will obtain the value y = 0 for some vale of x.

Therefore, this function will have only one x-intercept.

Hence, option A, C, D are discarded and option B is correct.

10 : 2 = 5  |   0

the price of 9-volt batteries is increasing according to the function below, where t is years after January 1, 1980. During what year will the price reach $4? use formula P(t)=1.1*e^0.047t A.)2007 B.)2005 C.)2003 D.)2009

Answers

4=1.1e^(0.047t)  divide both sides by 1.1

40/11=e^(0.047t)  take the natural log of both sides

ln(40/11)=0.047t  divide both sides by 0.047

t=ln(40/11)/0.047

t≈24.5

1980+24.5

2007.5

So during 2007 the price will reach $4.

Answer:

The option A.) 2007 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula which is to be used is given :

[tex]P(t) = 1.1\cdot e^{0.047t}[/tex]

where P(t) is the function of time t and t is the time in years after January 1 , 1980

Now, we need to find the year when the price will reach $4

So, substituting P(t) = 4 and finding the value of t from the given equation.

[tex]\implies 4=1.1\cdot e^{0.047t}\\\\\implies 3.64=e^{0.047t}\\\\\text{Taking natural log ln on both the sides}\\\\\implies \ln 3.64=\ln e^{0.047t}\\\\\implies 1.29=0.047\cdot t\\\\\implies t = 27.49[/tex]

So, t = 27.49 which is approximately equals to 27.5 years

So, 27.5 years after January 1, 1980 is the year 2007

Hence, The price will reach $4 in the year 2007

Therefore, The option A.) 2007 is correct

First, you plug in the numbers.

1.  P= $2000  
    A=$2543
    t= 4(years)
    r=? 

2543=2000^r(4) 

Secondly, you want to solve the equation.


Answer:

Rate of interest = 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Alexis put $2000 in a savings account. After 4 years, she had $2543 in the account.

Use the formula,

[tex]A=Pe^{rt}[/tex]

[tex]P\rightarrow \$2000[/tex]

[tex]r\rightarrow ?[/tex]

[tex]A\rightarrow \$2543[/tex]

[tex]t\rightarrow 4\text{ years}[/tex]

Substitute the value into formula and solve r

[tex]2543=2000e^{4r}[/tex]

[tex]e^{4r}=1.2715[/tex]

Apply ln both sides

[tex]4r\ln(e)=\ln(1.2715)[/tex]

[tex]r=0.06[/tex]

Rate of interest = 6%

Hence, The rate of interest is 6%

Final answer:

The slope of the line passing through the points (12, -18) and (11, 12) is calculated using the formula for slope (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). The result is -30.

Explanation:

The subject of this question is Mathematics, more specifically the topic of 'Slope of a Line'. The grade level appears to be High School.

To answer the question 'Find the slope for the given coordinates (12,-18) and (11,12)', we use the formula to calculate the slope between two points which is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Let's take (12, -18) as (x1, y1) and (11, 12) as (x2, y2). Now we just input the values into the formula:

Slope (m) = (12 - (-18)) / (11 - 12).

This simplifies to Slope (m) = 30 / -1 = -30.

So, the slope of the line passing through the points (12, -18) and (11, 12) is -30.

One ordered pair $(a,b)$ satisfies the two equations $ab^4 = 12$ and $a^5 b^5 = 7776$. what is the value of $a$ in this ordered pair?

Answers

Final answer:

To find the value of a in the ordered pair (a,b), we can solve the given equations. Substituting ab^4 with 12 in the second equation, we get a^5 (12)^5 = 7776. Solving for a gives a = 0.03125^(1/5) = 0.5.

Explanation:

To find the value of a in the ordered pair (a,b), we can solve the given equations.

From the first equation, ab^4 = 12, we can substitute ab^4 with 12 in the second equation:
a^5 b^5 = 7776

This gives us:
a^5 (12)^5 = 7776
12^5 = 12 * 12 * 12 * 12 * 12 = 248,832

Dividing both sides of the equation by (12^5) gives:
a^5 = 7776 / (12^5) = 7776 / 248,832 = 0.03125

Taking the fifth root of both sides gives:
a = 0.03125^(1/5) = 0.5

Aiden calculated the area of triangle QRS below by finding half the product of 1.5 and 1.1.

Answers

His error is the second choice.
Aiden should have calculated
area = (1.1 * 5.4) / 2
because triangle area = half the base times the altitude.


Answer: The correct option is

(B) Aiden should have found half the product of 1.1 and 5.4 because the 1.5 line is not perpendicular to 1.1 line.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Aiden calculated the area of triangle QRS by finding half the product of 1.5 and 1.1.

We are to select the correct option which states the error made by Aiden.

The AREA of a triangle is given by

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \textup{base}\times \textup{altitude},[/tex]

where the altitude is perpendicular to the base.

In ΔQRS, the length of the base is given by

b = QS = 0.9 + 4.5 = 5.4 units

and

the length of the altitude is given by

h = 1.1 units.

So, the area of the triangle QRS will be

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5.4\times 1.1[/tex]

Therefore, the area of ΔQRS will be calculated by finding half the product of 1.1 and 5.4.

So, Aiden made the error by finding half the product of 1.5 and 1.1, because 1.5 line is not perpendicular to 1.1 line.

Thus, Aiden should have found half the product of 1.1 and 5.4 because the 1.5 line is not perpendicular to 1.1 line.

Option (B) is correct.
