Question 45202This question is from textbook College Algebra
: Find the maximum or minimum value of the function:
f(x) = 1 + 3x -x^2
= x^2 + 3x + 1
=-(x^2 -3x + 2.25) +1 + 2.25
=-(x^2 -3x + 2.25) + 3.25
x= -b/2a = -3/2(-1) = 3/2 = max 1.5
y = 3.25

Question 45205This question is from textbook College Algebra
: Find the maximum or minimum value of the function
f(x) = -x^2/3 + 2x + 7
x = 2/2(-1/3) = 2/(-2/3)= (2/1)(3/2)= 3 maximum
(-x^2 + 6x + 21 /3) = ((-x^2 + 6x + 9) + 21 + 9)/3)
= (-(x + 3)^2 + 30)/3
= -(x + 3)^2 + 10
y = 10
Thanks so much!

Question 45520This question is from textbook College Algebra
: Use the property of Inverse Functions to show that f and g are inverses of each other:
f(x) = x^3 + 1; g(x) = (x-1)^(1/3)
f(g(x)) = f((x-1)^1/3) + 1 = x-1 + 1 = x
g(f(x)) = g(x^3 + 1) = (x^3 + 1)^3 + 1 = x + 1 -1 = x
f and g are inverses of each other.

Question 45521This question is from textbook College Algebra
: Find the inverse function of f
f(x) = x-2/x+2
y = x-2/x+2 = (x+2)y = x-2
yx + 2y = x-2
yx-x = -2y-2
x(y-1) = -2y-2
x = 2(y-1)/y-1

Question 45518This question is from textbook College Algebra
: Use the Property of Inverse Functions to show that f and g are inverses of each other:
f(x) = 2x, g(x) = x/2
f(g(x)) = f(x/2) = 2(x/2) = x
g(f(x)) = g(2x) = 2(x/2) = x
f and g are inverses of each other, correct?

Question 45851: values of two functions (f) and (g) are listed below find the composite (f little circle g)(6).
values for (f) [x=4 f(x)=7 ] for [x=5 f(x)=6] [for x=6 f(x)=5] [x=7 f(x)=4]
values for (g) [x=4 g(x)=6 ] for [x=5 g(x)=7] [for x=6 g(x)=4] [x=7 g(x)=5]
i know from my reading that the composite = f(g(x))
so does that mean i just go to the list and find what g(6)= which is 4.
to find my answer. is it that simple.

Question 46288: Question is: Give the domain of square root of x + 1 over x in interval notation. My first answer was (-infinity, 0) U (0, infinity). I got the second part right but I did not get the first part of the answer right. I know that the reciprocal function f(x) = 1/x contains the domains of (-infinity, 0)U (0, infinity) but apparently this does not help me. Can anyone help?
