(x^a)(x^b)=x^(a+b)
(ab)(cd)=(a)(b)(c)(d)
x^-m=1/(x^m)
(3y^-4)(2y^-4)=
(3)(y^-4)(2)(y^-4)=
(6)(y^-8)=
6/(y^8)
Answer:
Firstly
f(x)=3x-2=y then
Interchanging x and y we get
x=3y-2
x+2=3y
y=(x+2)/3
f-1(x)=(x+2)/3
f-1(13)=(13+2)/3
f-1(13)=5
1. Over a period of 6 years (from 1980 to 1986) the house gained a value of 12000 dollars (109k-97k). 12000/6 gives you a rate of 2000 dollars per year. Because the initial price at t=0 is 97000, the function is 97000+2000t
