Determine the inverse:
Explanation
In order to find the inverse of this function, interchange the x and y-variables.
Subtract three from both sides.
Simplify the equation.
Divide by ten on both sides.
Simplify both sides.
The answer is:
If and
, what is
?
Explanation
Evaluate first. Substitute the function
into
.
Distribute the integer through the binomial and simplify the equation.
Multiply this expression with .
The answer is:
Consider the equation:
The vertex of this parabolic function would be located at:
Explanation
For any parabola, the general equation is
, and the x-coordinate of its vertex is given by
.
For the given problem, the x-coordinate is
.
To find the y-coordinate, plug into the original equation:
Therefore the vertex is at .
Given the above circle inequality, which point is not on the edge of the circle?
Explanation
This is a graph of a circle with radius of 5 and a center of (1,1). The center of the circle is not on the edge of the circle, so that is the correct answer. All other points are exactly 5 units away from the circle's center, making them a part of the circle.
Find the range of the function:
Explanation
The range is the existing y-values that contains the function.
Notice that this is a parabola that opens downward, and the y-intercept is four.
This means that the highest y-value on this graph is four. The y-values will approach negative infinity as the domain, or x-values, approaches to positive and negative infinity.
The answer is:
Consider the equation:
The vertex of this parabolic function would be located at:
Explanation
For any parabola, the general equation is
, and the x-coordinate of its vertex is given by
.
For the given problem, the x-coordinate is
.
To find the y-coordinate, plug into the original equation:
Therefore the vertex is at .
If and
, determine:
Explanation
Substitute the assigned values into the expression.
Simplify the inside parentheses.
The answer is:
Explanation
All inputs are valid. There is nothing you can put in for x that won't work.
What is the domain of the function ?
Explanation
The expression under the square root symbol cannot be negative, so to find the domain, set that expression .
The domain includes all x-values less than or equal to 7, which can be written as .
What is the center and radius of the following equation, respectively?
Explanation
The equation given represents a circle.
represents the center, and
is the radius.
The center is at:
Set up an equation to solve the radius.
The radius is:
The answer is:
