find the equation of the inverse relation 2x^2+5y^2=4

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

if g(x) is the inverse of f(x), then f(x) is the inverse of g(x) since you were given the inverse already, to find the "function", just get her inverse :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

do you know .... how to find an inverse? you're asked for THE FUNCTION given her inverse function, well, the inverse of an inverse function is THE FUNCTION

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops I had to modify the question

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

different wording, same meaning

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so, you'd still get THE FUNCTION by getting the inverse of the given one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure how to acquire the right answer

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

to get the inverse of a function, all you do is a quick swap of the letters \(\bf 2x^2+5y^2=4\qquad inverse \implies 2y^2+5x^2=4\) then solve for "y"

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well... I guess you can solve for "y" if you want... though as it's, it should be the inverse but I gather what's being asked is the solution for "y"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope all it asks for is to "Find the equation of the inverse relation" I didnt gather that it would be as simple as swapping letters.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

an equation of an inverse relation is just a longer wording of saying "the inverse function", so the wording is just a bit convoluted, is all

Thanks for ALL your help and guidance!!!
