Question 415948: This is the only inverse-related section, so, here goes:
Find the inverse function of Y = (exp)3(sqrt)2x+1
I get that you turn f(x) into Y, and replace the X with Y, and vice versa; then move the (exp)3 onto the Y to get rid of the square root. So, it then becomes:
X^3 = 2Y+1
After that, I'm lost. If I subtract the 1, it becomes X^3-1 = 2Y, but, I can't divide by 2 because there needs to be an X in the denominator.

Question 424970: I am not sure if this equation was done right. Here it is
1/3+1/2
-------
5/9-1/3
Do I add the first equation to get that answer, subtract the second equation and take both answers and Divide them? Here is what I have on my sheet:
1/3+1/2 2/6+3/6 5/6
-------= -------= ---=5/6 * 9/2 = 5/6 * 27/6 = 45/12 ?
5/9-1/3 5/9-3/9 2/9
Is this any where close to being right?
