ONE QUESTION .... URGENT!!!

I need help fast guys! Any help is AWESOME! I WILL MEDAL!
let f(x)=y \[y=\sqrt{8x+10}\] make x the subject
ok
\[y^{2}=8x+10\] subtract 10 on both sides, then divide by 8 \[\frac{ y^{2}-10 }{ 8 }=x\] now replace x with f^-1(x) and replace y with x
ok and what do i do with that?
could i some how use that to solve it
after replacing x and y, you would get your inverse function
then you want to work out the domain of your inverse function
alright I got D
i marked it on the picture
how did you get D
I literally just told you what the function was and it is not D
ohh i think i see do i have to plug in and inverse everything>
if im correct about inversely then its C
you only need to find the inverse function, and domain of the function nothing else
did you even read anything I have wrote here omg
yes but I thought you meant inversing
ok one sec
|dw:1428105464536:dw| how do i figure out the sign?
okay that is your funciton
the range of the original function is the domain of the inverse function
the domain is all possible x values you can put into the function the range is all possible values that can be given out of the function so if you have f(x)=x+8 the domain is all possible x values that can be put into this are all numbers that exist the range is all possible out comes, since you can put any x number in you can get any number given out so the range is all possible numbers
so go back to your original function
you know you can not square root a negative number
ok would it be this < then from reading that ^
considering that i can get any number out of a of the range
hmm im guessing thats a no.. well rats
heheh
your result is correct for the inverse btw
so i was right?
now which one is it, \(\bf x\le 10\ or \ x \ge 10\)
i think its <
well look at the original radicand the "x" in the original equation, is the "domain" for it what "x" MUST NOT BE in order for the radical \(\bf \sqrt{8x+10}\)to remain positive?
-
> or < hmmm
lemme try a few combinations \(\large \begin{array}{ccllll} term&value \\\hline\\ 1&\sqrt{8(1)+10}\to \sqrt{18}\\ 2&\sqrt{8(2)+10}\to \sqrt{26}\\ -1&\sqrt{8(-1)+10}\to \sqrt{-2}\\ -2&\sqrt{8(-2)+10}\to \sqrt{-6}\\ \end{array}\)
is it > /
is it? recall, a negative value inside a square root, gives an "imaginary" number
well then whats that imaginary number?
ani imaginary number, means, there's no solution, or is non-existent, thus imaginary
so "x" MUST NOT BE some value that makes the radicand negative
ok thanks bro or girl but im gonna go with the > option
yw
radicand means number right?
radicand = number inside the radical or root
or expression for that matter
then its HAS to be >0
if that is the right number?
yeap, if x = 0 then 8x + 10 gives 10 if x is a negative number, then you end up with a negative inside thus \(\large \bf x \ge 0\)
