The equation of the inverse function of the function f(x) = x^2 - x - 2 is f'1(x) =  0.5 + √x + 2.25

What are inverse functions?

Inverse functions are the opposite of an original equation. This means that for a function f(x), the inverse of the function f(x) is f-(x); it also represents the opposite function

How to determine the inverse function?

The function f(x) is given as

f(x) = x^2 - x - 2

Start by expressing the above function in vertex form

Using a graphing calculator, we have

f(x) = (x - 0.5)^2 - 2.25

As a general rule, we start by writing f(x) as a variable (say f(x) = y).

So, the equation of the function becomes

y = (x - 0.5)^2 - 2.25

The next step is to switch/swap the positions of x and y in the above equation y = (x - 0.5)^2 - 2.25

The equation becomes

x = (y - 0.5)^2 - 2.25

Add 2.25 to both sides

So, we have

(y - 0.5)^2 = x + 2.25

Take the square root of both sides

y - 0.5 = √x + 2.25

Add 0.5 to both sides

So, we have

y = 0.5 + √x + 2.25

Express as an inverse function

f'1(x) =  0.5 + √x + 2.25

Hence, the inverse function of the function f(x) = x^2 - x - 2 is f'1(x) =  0.5 + √x + 2.25

Fiona is heating water for a science experiment the temperature of the water increases 4/5 of a degree every 2/5 of a minute how much is the temperature of the water increasing per minute.
Answer needed ASAP
thanks

Answers

The temperature that water is increasing per minute is 2 degrees.

What is the increase in temperature per minute?

A fraction is a non-integer that is made up of a numerator and a denominator. The numerator is the digit above the line and the denominator is the number below the line. An example of a fraction is 3/7.

The first step is to determine what 2/5 of a minute is equivalent to in seconds.

1 minute = 60 seconds

2/5 x 60 = 24 seconds

The formula that can be used to determine the temperature that water is increasing per minute is :

Temperature increase per minute = (degree it rises to 2/5 of a minute x seconds in a minute) / seconds in 2/4 of a minute

(4/5 x 60) / 24 = 2 degrees

The population of a certain animal species decreases at a rate of 3.5% per year. You have counted 80 of the animals in the habitat you are studying.

a. Write a function that models the change in the animal population.

Answers

The function that models the change in the animal population is

                   [tex]F(x) = x ( 1+ r)^{t}[/tex]

According to the question we have been given that

        population decreases = 3.5% per year

         Number of animals counted = 80

The formula to be used is

       [tex]F(x) = x (1 + r)^{t}[/tex]           (1)

where,  F(x) = amount of animals counted after t years

              x = initial amount of animals

               r = decrease or increase rate of animal species.

               t = time

Now according to the question,

           r = -0.035

           x = 80

Putting the required values in equation (1) we get  

      [tex]F(x) = 80 (1 - 0.035)^{t}\\ F(x) = 80 (0.965)^{t}[/tex]

Thus above is the required function that models the change in the animal population.

Let g(x)=5 x-2 and h(x)=x²+1 . Find the value of each expression. (h⁰g)(0)

Answers

The value of the expression ( h o g)(0) is 5.

When two functions say f and g, are composed in such a way that h(x) = g(f(x)), a new function, h, is created. In this case, the function of g is being applied to the function of x. So, in essence, the output of one function is applied to the result of another.

Consider the two functions,

g(x) = 5x - 2 and h(x) = x² + 1

So,

( h o g)(x) = h(g(x))

( h o g)(x) = ( 5x - 2 )² + 1

( h o g)(x) = 25x² - 20x + 4 + 1

( h o g)(x) = 25x² - 20x + 5

( h o g)(0) = 25 × (0)² - 20 × (0) + 4 + 1

( h o g)(0) = 0 - 0 + 4 + 1

( h o g)(0) = 5

The value of the expression ( h o g)(0) is 5.

The midpoint of AB is M(-4, -3). If the coordinates of A are (−1,−2), then B has coordinates of (-2, -7/3)

What does a midpoint mean?

Midpoint, as the word suggests, means the point which lies in the middle of something. Midpoint of a line segment means a point which lies in the mid of the given line segment.

Line AB has a midpoint, M.

A is (-1, -2)

B is unknown, M is(−4,−3)

Let's assume straight line of the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope.

Rise = (-3-(-2))= -1

Run = (-4-(-1)) =  -3

Slope = (Rise/Run) = (1/3)

The line becomes y=(1/3)x+b

Calculate b, the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)

y=(1/3)x+b

-2 = (1/3)(-1)+b

b = -2 + (1/3)

b = -5/3

The equation becomes:

y=(1/3)x - -5/3

The number of bags of mulch you need to cover a planting area varies jointly with the area to be mulched a in square feet and the depth of the mulch d in feet. If you need 10 bags to mulch 120ft² to a depth of 3in., how many bags do you need to mulch 200ft² to a depth of 4in ?

Answers

To cover 200 ft2 to a depth of 4 inches, we'll need 22(2/9) bags of mulch.

What do we mean by depth?The depth of an object is defined as the distance between its nearest and farthest ends in mathematics. The vertical magnitude of an object is measured by its height. Depth is also a measure of an object's vertical magnitude. These two terms appear to represent the same quantity.

So,

When z "varies jointly" with x and y, the following formula can be used to describe it:

z = kxy

Here, we have mulch bags (n) that vary with the area (a) and depth (d), both in feet.

The information provided allows us to calculate the value of k.

n = kad10 = k·(120)(1/4)10/30 = k = 1/3 (divide by the k coefficient)

Now we can fill in the blanks with the other values of interest.

n = (1/3)·(200)·(1/3) = 200/9n = 22(2/9)

Therefore, to cover 200 ft2 to a depth of 4 inches, we'll need 22(2/9) bags of mulch.

given the equation: x^2 + 5x - 14
use the discriminant to decide if there are two real and different roots, two equal roots or no real roots

Answers

Answer:

2 real different roots

Step-by-step explanation:

Discriminant determines the number of real solutions of a quadratic equation. The formula of discriminant goes by:

[tex]\displaystyle{D = b^2-4ac}[/tex]

The formula is derived from a quadratic formula which is:

[tex]\displaystyle{x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}}[/tex]

The expression inside the square root is discriminant. The discriminant says that:

There are 2 real different roots if the discriminant (D) is greater than 0. (D > 0)There is 2 real double roots (same roots) if the discriminant (D) is equal to 0. (D = 0)There are no real roots (imaginary or complex roots) if the discriminant (D) is less than 0. (D < 0)

From the equation [tex]\displaystyle{x^2+5x-14}[/tex], determine the coefficients of equation:

a = 1b = 5c = -14

Therefore, substitute the coefficients’ values in the discriminant:

[tex]\displaystyle{D=5^2-4(1)(-14)}\\\\\displaystyle{D=25-4(-14)}\\\\\displaystyle{D=25+56}\\\\\displaystyle{D=81}[/tex]

Since the discriminant is greater than 0, we can conclude that this equation will have 2 real different roots.
