with a taxable value of x thousand dollars.
b. Write an equation for T
-1(x).

Answer:

a. T(x) = 29x +101

b. T^-1(x) = (x -101)/29

c. the value of the home in thousands as a function of the tax on it

Explanation:

a. The tax is $101 plus $29 per thousand of value. x is the value in thousands, so the tax is ...

T(x) = 29x +101

__

b. The inverse function can be found by solving ...

x = T(y)

x = 29y +101

x -101 = 29y

y = (x -101)/29

T^-1(x) = (x -101)/29

__

c. The function tells you the tax on a home worth x thousands.

The inverse function tells you the worth of the home in thousands when the tax on it is x.
