Someone Please Help! Given f(x) = the quantity of x plus 4, divided by 6, solve for f-1(7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is f(x)=x+4/6 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that's it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know what to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok put f(x)=y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And then what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now solve x+4/6=y for the value of x...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So x = 6y/4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope x=6y-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do carefully

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh that's right, I missed that. I get it though. So what's next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as we assumed that f(x)=y it implies x=f^-1(y) put f^-1(y)=6y-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait so I just put 7 in for 7 and solve? So the answer is 38?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7 in for y*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now replace the variables i.e y by x (REMEMBER the change of the name of the variable in def. of fun does not change that fun)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 38.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup thatz right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D Okay thanks so much!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I might have another question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Using a directrix of y = 5 and a focus of (4, 1), what quadratic function is created? I need help with this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry its related to conic section...& i don't have any idea about this....SORRY :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about this question What polynomial has roots of -6, -4, and 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
