Y = 4x
(-2,y).....x = -2
y = 4(-2)
y = -8
Given: f(x)=(2x-2)/4
find f^-1(3)?
we need to find the inverse of f(x), so
x=(2y-2)/4
2y-2=4x
y-1=2x
y=2x+1
so, then f^-1(x)=2x+1
f^-1(3)=2(3)+1
=6+1
=7
so, the answer is 7
The degree of the polynomial is 7
The way I like to figure out problems like this is to write it out like,
1/10 = x/6000
(One over ten equals x over 6000)
Then you find out how much you multiplied 10 by to get 6000. To do this you can divide 6000 by 10 getting 600. The rule "what you do to the bottom you have to do to top" in this equation. So since you multiplied the bottom by 600 you have to multiply the top by 600 as well. 600 times 1 is just 600.
So your answer is, 600 is 1/10 of 6000.
Hope this helps and isn't too confusing.
A function is a set of ordered pairs in which no two different ordered pairs have the same x -coordinate. An equation that produces such a set of ordered pairs defines a function. What is the catch? There can be at most one output for every input.
