x+=+1+-y%5E2
y%5E2=+1+-x
y=+sqrt%281+-x%29
make a table, choose several values for x coordinate, find y coordinate, plot all points and draw a line through
x|y
0|1........y=+sqrt%281+-0%29=>y=+sqrt%281%29=>y=1
1|0........y=+sqrt%281+-1%29=>y=+sqrt%280%29=>y=0
-1|1.41........y=+sqrt%281+-%28-1%29%29=>y=+sqrt%282%29=>y=1.41
2|i........y=+sqrt%281+-2%29=>y=+sqrt%28-1%29=>y=i complex root (as you can see, domain is all x%3C=1; so, you can continue to use only negative numbers
-3|2........y=+sqrt%281+-%28-3%29%29=>y=+sqrt%284%29=>y=2
-5|2.5........y=+sqrt%281+-%28-5%29%29=>y=+sqrt%286%29=>y=2.5

Answer by jim_thompson5910(28715) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x)=x^2+1

f(a+1)=(a+1)^2+1 ... replace ALL copies of 'x' with 'a+1'

f(a+1)=(a+1)(a+1)+1

f(a+1)=a(a+1)+1(a+1)+1

f(a+1)=a^2+a+a+1+1

f(a+1)=a^2+2a+2

So the answer is f(a+1)=a^2+2a+2

Question 758289: Please help me solve this equation:
If f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3, find f(x + 2)

Answer by nerdybill(7008) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3
.
f(x+2) = (x+2)^2 -2(x+2) +3
f(x+2) = (x+2)(x+2) -2(x+2) +3
f(x+2) = x^2+4x+4 -2(x+2) +3
f(x+2) = x^2+4x+4 -2x-2 +3
f(x+2) = x^2+2x+4-2 +3
f(x+2) = x^2+2x+2 +3
f(x+2) = x^2+2x+5

Question 758126: given that f(x)=2x+1/3x+4 determine f^1(x)

Answer by nerdybill(7008) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
given that f(x)=2x+1/3x+4 determine f^1(x)
.
I'll assume you meant:
f(x)=(2x+1)/(3x+4)
.
replace f(x) with y:
y=(2x+1)/(3x+4)
switch variables:
x = (2y+1)/(3y+4)
multiplying both sides by (3y+4):
x(3y+4) = (2y+1)
3xy+4x = 2y+1
3xy = 2y+1-4x
3xy-2y = 1-4x
y(3x-2) = 1-4x
y = (1-4x)/(3x-2)
.
So,
f^1(x) = (1-4x)/(3x-2)

Question 757725: Find the function value:
find f(-11) when f(x)= -5x-14
Please show steps as I am really confused with this. Thanks.

Answer by jim_thompson5910(28715) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x)= -5x-14

f(-11)= -5(-11)-14 ... plug in x = -11 (ie replace EVERY x with -11). Now evaluate/simplify

f(-11)= 55-14

f(-11)= 41

So the final answer is f(-11)= 41

LCD = 6x^2y^3
3x^2y divides into 6x^2y^3
giving 2y^2 to multiply
5 = 10y^2
6xy^3 divides into 6x^2y^3
giving x to multiply
4 = 4x

Question 757410: find the domain of (f + g)(x)when f(x) =2x+5and g (x)=4/x-2
Answer by josgarithmetic(1774) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Not know exactly what you mean for g(x), but if you mean this:
%28f+%2B+g%29%28x+%29 when f%28x%29=2x%2B5 and g%28x%29=4%2Fx-2

The the composition you indicate is 2x+5+(4/x)-2
=2x%2B%284%2Fx%29%2B3

The domain then is the set of Real Numbers x%3C%3E0.
Using inequality to express this domain,
x%3C0 and x%3E0
(Used "and" because domain is a set and we want to include all members of the set).

Just some help but no further:

The needed set of zeros is
{ 9, -i, +i, -8+i, -8-i }

The factored form is f%28x%29=%28x-9%29%28x-%28-i%29%29%28x-%28i%29%29%28x-%28-8%2Bi%29%29%28x-%28-8-i%29%29
You have some multiplications and simplifications to do. Avoid extra difficulties through careful pre-simplification and associating:
f%28x%29=%28x-9%29%28x%2Bi%29%28x-i%29%28x%2B8-i%29%28x%2B8%2Bi%29

Question 756643: 3. Find the complex zeros of the polynomial function. Write f in factored form.
F(x)=x^3-8x^2+29x-52
Use the complex zeros to write f in factored form
F(x)=____(reduce fractions and simplify roots)

Answer by Edwin McCravy(8999) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
F(x)=x^3-8x^2+29x-52

The possible rational zeros are ± the factors of 52,
which are ±1,±2,±4,±13,±26, and ±52

You can keep trying those and the only one that gives
a zero remainder and is therefore a rational zero is 4.

4|1 -8  29 -52
 |   4 -16  52
  1 -4  13   0

So we have factored F(x) this way:

F(x) = (x-4)(x²-4x+13)

To find the other zeros we set the factor
x² - 4x + 13 = 0 and use the quadratic formula:


x = %28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F%282a%29+

x = %28-%28-4%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-4%29%5E2-4%281%29%2813%29+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29+ 

x = %284+%2B-+sqrt%2816-52+%29%29%2F2+

x = %284+%2B-+sqrt%28-36+%29%29%2F2+

x = %284+%2B-+6i%29%2F2+

x = %282%282+%2B-+3i%29%29%2F2+

x = %28cross%282%29%282+%2B-+3i%29%29%2Fcross%282%29+

x = 2 ± 3i

So the other zeros are 2 + 3i and 2 - 3i

So the factored form of F(x) is

F(x) = (x - 4)[x - (2 + 3i)][x - (2 - 3i)]

or 

F(x) = (x - 4)(x - 2 - 3i)(x - 2 + 3i)

Question 756195: Find the maximum or minimum value of the function. State whether this value is a maximum or minimum.
f(x)= 5x squared - 11

Answer by Theo(3504) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = 5x^2 - 11
put in standard form of a quadratic equation to get:
5x^2 - 11 = 0
a = 5
b = 0
c = -11
axis of symmetry is given by the equation:
x = -b/2a
with the given values of b and a, this becomes:
x = 0
the equation is maximum or minimum at x = 0
when x = 0, the value of y is equal to -11
the max/min point is (0,-11)
this point is a minimum because the coefficient of the x^2 term is positive.

I am asuming that it is square root of (16-x^2). As in all under the square root sign. With that being said, let's split it up first to this:

y= square root of 16 + square root of -x^2

y= 4 + -x

y= 4-x

Hope this helps! If not feel free to ask again.

Q:
A pond has 2000 fish in it due to a harmful bacteria the fish are dying at a rate of 15% per day write an equation in the form y=a(b)^t .how many fish will there be in the pond in 10 days? How long will it take for half of the fish to die?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:
Equation: highlight%28y+=+2000%280.85%29%5Et%29
In 10 days, there will be 2000%280.85%5E10%29highlight%28394%29 number of fish.
2000%280.85%29%5Et+=+1000
0.85%5Et = 1%2F2
t = log%280.85%2C+%281%2F2%29%29 = highlight%284.265%29 days
It will take highlight%284.265%29 days for half of the fish to die.


Question 755831: Please I need your help!! Can you find the inverse of the following funtion? Log4 64=x
Answer by josmiceli(9817) About Me  (Show Source):

+log%28+4%2C64+%29+=+x+
Do you have trouble reading this?
First of all, repeat over and over:
Logs are exponents
Logs are exponents
Logs are exponents . . .
--------------------
Now you can say in words:
exponent ( some base, the result ) = +x+
This is telling you that +x+ is an exponent
( some base, . . . ) tells you the base, so
looking at your problem,
+log%28+4%2C64+%29+=+x+
You can say:
+4%5Ex+ = the result
and, the result is +64+, so
+4%5Ex+=+64+
-------------
That's the inverse. If you practice reading these
log equations, I guarantee you'll get better at it.

Question 755537: Decide whether or not the equation defines y as a function of x.
x-y%5E2=-2
What I got:
x-y%5E2=-2
x=-2%2By%5E2
sqrt%28x%2B2%29=y
Is it a function?

Answer by josgarithmetic(1774) About Me  (Show Source):

No it does not express y as a function of x. You did actually find part of the equation in the form of y as a function of x. The original equation ALSO has a lower branch which is also a function of x.

Taking square root of y%5E2=x%2B2, you have BOTH of these:
y=sqrt%28x%2B2%29 AND highlight%28y=-sqrt%28x%2B2%29%29

Consistant with that, +x-y%5E2=-2 IS NOT A FUNCTION.

A reason it is not a function is because for all but one value of x, each value of x gives more than one value of y.
