im lost in how to do this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow i dont know how to do that sorry lol :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its all good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just am really lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i wish i would help you .sorry

hero (hero):

First write \(f(x) = x^2 - 81\) Then let \(y = f(x)\): \(y = x^2 - 81\) Next, swap \(x\) and \(y\) \(x = y^2 - 81\) Afterwards, isolate \(y\). @Player_2 Would you like to try isolating y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u square root y^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i get lost

OpenStudy (phi):

x=y^2 - 81 I would first add +81 to both sides , as the next step. what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

81x=y^2

OpenStudy (phi):

like this x+81 = y^2 - 81+81

OpenStudy (phi):

on the right side you have -81+81 and that simplifies to 0 and y^2 +0 is y^2 so you now have x+81= y^2 or y^2 = x+81 now you can "take the square root" of both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im a bit confused what to do 81x

OpenStudy (phi):

there is no 81x what do you mean ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+81
