The inverse of the function f(x) = (4x - 1)/(-2x +2) is equal to f⁻¹(x) = (2x + 1)/(4 + 2x).

In Mathematics, an inverse function simply refers to a type of function that is obtained by reversing the mathematical operation in a given function (f(x)).

In order to determine the inverse of this function f(x) = (4x - 1)/(-2x +2), we would interchange both the input value (x) and output value (y) as follows:

y = (4x - 1)/(-2x +2)

x = (4y - 1)/(-2y +2)

Cross-multiplying, we have:

x(-2y +2) = 4y - 1

2x - 2xy = 4y - 1

Next, we would rearrange the function by collecting like terms as follows:

4y + 2xy = 2x + 1

y(4 + 2x) = 2x + 1

Dividing both sides of the function by (4 + 2x), we have:

y = (2x + 1)/(4 + 2x)

y = f⁻¹(x) = (2x + 1)/(4 + 2x)

Answer: 50, 99

Step-by-step explanation:

we just have to substitute the values of x and y in the given expressions.

7(2)+4(9)=50

4(9)+7(9)=99

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 4y= 50 and 4y + 7y= 99

Since, x=2 and y=9

7x + 4y= 7*2 + 7*9= 14 + 36= 50

and similarly

4y + 7y= 4*9 + 7*9= 36 + 63= 99

Using the straight line method, the depreciation expense in year 1 and 2 is $14,000.

Using the double declining method, the depreciation expense in year 1 is  $29,600 and $17,760 in year 2.

Using the unit of production method, the depreciation expense in year 1 is $18,000 and $19,000 in year 2.

The straight line depreciation method is a depreciation method in which the the depreciation amount each year of the asset's useful life is the same.

Straight line depreciation = (cost of the asset - salvage value) / useful life

Cost of the asset = $70,000 + $3000 + $1000 = $74,000

Straight line depreciation = ($74,000 - $4,000) / 5  = $14,000

The double declining method entails depreciating an asset at twice the rate of the straight line method.

Depreciation expense = cost of the asset x depreciation factor

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)

Depreciation expense in year 1 = (2 /5) x  $74,000 = $29,600

Book value in year 2 = $74,000 = $29,600  = $44,400

Depreciation expense in year 2 = (2 /5) x  $44,400 = $17,760

The depreciation in the unit of production method depends on the output of the machine each year.

Depreciation = (output in a year / total output) x (cost of the asset - salvage value)

Depreciation in year 1 = ($74,000 - $4,000) x (36,000 / 140,000) = $18,000

Depreciation in year 2 = ($74,000 - $4,000) x (38,000 / 140,000) = $19,000

The point slope form of equation is y- 3 = -4/3( x- (-3)).

A line's slope is determined by how its y coordinate changes in relation to how its x coordinate changes. y and x are the net changes in the y and x coordinates, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to write the

change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate as,

m = Δy/Δx

where, m is the slope

Given:

Points= (-3, 3) and (9, -13)

Now,

slope= (-13 - 3)/ (9 - (-3))

slope= -16 / 12

slope= -4/3

Now, the point slope form

y- [tex]y_1[/tex] = m (x- [tex]x_1[/tex])

y- 3 = -4/3( x- (-3))

y- 3= -4/3x - 4

5.2 The rate of interest per annum is 94.56%/year.

Given:

P=5000

r = 18%

t= 4 years.

5.1 First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 18/100

r = 0.18 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.18/12)(12)(4)

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.015)(48)

A = $10,217.39

5.2 Given:

P = 3700

A = 8360,34

t = 7 years.

r =?

Solving for rate r as a decimal

r = n[(A/P)1/nt - 1]

r = 2 × [(836,034.00/3,700.00)1/(2)(7) - 1]

r = 0.945604

Then convert r to R as a percentage

The rate of change of function [tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}[/tex] for x = 4 and x = 9 is 7 / 30.

We know that the rate of change of a function is nothing but the slope of the line.

The slope of the line is given by;

Slope = Change in y-coordinate / change in x-coordinate

We are given;

[tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}[/tex]

We need to find the rate of change of function for x = 4 and x = 9.

Let us find the value of y or f(x) for the given value of x.

For x = 4, [tex]f(x) = \sqrt{4} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{4}}[/tex]   = 2 - 1/2 = 4 - 1 / 2 = 3 / 2

For x = 9, [tex]f(x) = \sqrt{9} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{9}}[/tex]   = 3 - 1/3 = 9 - 1 / 3 = 8 / 3

Put the values of x and y in the slope formula, we will get;

Slope = (8 / 3 - 3 / 2) / (9 - 4) = 7 / 6*5 = 7 / 30

So, the rate of change of function is 7 / 30.

Thus, the rate of change of function [tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}[/tex] for x = 4 and x = 9 is 7 / 30.

The best course grade your friend can earn is 88%.

The minimum score your friend needs to have on the final to earn a 75% for the course is 35%.

If the final counts for 20% of the course grade, it means that the average of 85% counts for 80% (100 - 20%) of the total score.

The linear expression that can be used to determine the best course grade your friend can earn is:

(average that has already been accumulated x 80%) + (score on the finals x 20%)

(85% x 80%) + (20% x 100%)

(85% x 0.80) + (0.2 x 100%)

68 + 20 = 88%

The linear equation that can be used to determine the minimum score that can be earned on the final to have75% in the course is

Final grade = (total average before the final x 80%) + (score on the final x 20%)

75% = (85% x 80%) + (f x 20%)

75% = (85% x 0.80) + (0.20 x f)

75% = 68% + 0.20f

75% - 68% = 0.20f

Answer:

42.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario can be modelled as a right triangle (see attached diagram), where the angle of elevation is 32°, and the length of the kite string (75 ft) is the hypotenuse.

We want to find the distance the kite is above the ground, so we want to find the side of the right triangle that is opposite the given angle. To do this, we can use the sine trigonometric ratio.

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{9 cm}\underline{Sine trigonometric ratio} \\\\$\sf \sin(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{H}$\\\\where:\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $\theta$ is the angle. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $\sf O$ is the side opposite the angle. \\\phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $\sf H$ is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle). \\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

Substituting θ = 32° and H = 75 into the ratio, we get:

[tex]\sin 32^{\circ}=\dfrac{\sf O}{75}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{O}=75\sin 32^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{O}=39.7439448...\; \sf ft[/tex]

The angle of elevation is the angle between the horizontal plane and the line of sight from an observer to an object located at a higher position.

In this scenario, the angle of elevation is measured from Savannah's hand, which is a distance of 2.5 ft above the ground. Therefore, we need to add 2.5 ft to the value of O found using the sine ratio.

[tex]\implies 39.7439448...+2.5=42.2\; \sf ft\;(nearest\;tenth)[/tex]

Therefore, the kite is 42.2 ft above the ground (rounded to the nearest tenth).
