4. Perform the requested operation or operations.
f(x) = x minus five divided by eight. ; g(x) = 8x + 5, find g(f(x)).
f(x)=(x-5)/8 g(x)=8x+5
g(f(x))=8((x-5)/8)+5=x-5+5=x
the answer is B) g(f(x)) = x
5. Find f(x) and g(x) so that the function can be described as y = f(g(x)).
y = nine divided by square root of quantity five x plus five.
y=f(g(x))=9/((5x+5) ^1/2)
let do
g(x)=5x+5...........so
f(x)= 9/( x^1/2)
the answer is A) f(x) = nine divided by square root of x. , g(x) = 5x + 5
6. A satellite camera takes a rectangular-shaped picture. The smallest region that can be photographed is a 4-km by 4-km rectangle. As the camera zooms out, the length l and width w of the rectangle increase at a rate of 3 km/sec. How long does it take for the area A to be at least 4 times its original size?
Original size- >4km*4km=16 km2
4 times its original size---------------4*(16km2)-----64 Km2----------- > 8 km by 8 Km
Therefore
3km----------------------------- 1 sec
(8km-4km)---------------------x
X=4/3=1.33 sec
The answer is D) 1.33 sec
7. Find the inverse of the function.
f(x) = the cube root of quantity x divided by seven. - 9
to solve
replace f(x) with y
switch x and y
solve for y
replace y with f⁻¹(x)
f(x)=((x/7)-9) ^(1/3)
replace f(x) with y
y=((x/7)-9) ^(1/3)
switch x and y
x=((y/7)-9) ^(1/3)
solve for y
x^3=((y/7)-9)
x^3+9=y/7
y=7(x^3+9)
the answer is C) f-1(x) = 7(x3 + 9)
