need somebody to double check my work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 3x-4 }{ 5}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@whpalmer4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what work... tell me...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought you was suppose to multiple 5 with the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to find the value of "x".....? or what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well x=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x-4/5=0 3x-4=0 3x=4 x=4/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(4)=3x-4 over 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(4)=3*4-4 f(4)=12-4 f(4)=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what happens to the 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just insert 5 in f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im lost now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh...ok see f(5)=3*5-4 f(5)=15-4 f(5)=11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt think you was suppose to that cause f(x)=f(4) already

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no dear... we had already 5 there too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but in the question there are 3 different equation and two equation has the same solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first equation i had got 8 and the other one i got 9 so this equation final answer should be 8

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

The problem as you've posted it here is incomplete. Can you tell us exactly what the original problem says, or post a screenshot or photo?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the following statements have the same result? Explain each step in solving each one. f(3) when f(x) = 2x + 2 f-1(4) when f(x) = 3x minus 4, all over 5 y + 10 = 2y + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hope that kind of help i had already figured out the first equation and the third equation i just cant seem to figure out the second equation

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Okay. That's much better! \[f(x) = 2x+2\]\[f(3) = 2(3)+2 = 8\] \[y + 10 = 2y + 1\]\[10 = y + 1\]\[y = 9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i did that 1 already and i did the first one as well i need help with the second one

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

\[f(x) = \frac{3x-4}5\]To find \(f^{-1}(x)\) we swap the variables and solve for \(x\) \[y = \frac{3x-4}{5}\]swap variables: \[x = \frac{3y-4}{5}\]Solve for \(y\) \[5x = 3y-4\]\[5x+4 = 3y\]\[y=\frac{5x+4}{3}\]\[f^{-1}(x) = \frac{5x+4}{3}\] Now you plug in the desired value of \(x\) and evaluate the result.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so 5*4=20 20+4=24 24/3=8 omg thank you so much for helping me:))))
