Algebra.Com's Answer #705477 by Theo(13342) You can put this solution on YOUR website! let y = f(x).\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "start with y = x^2 + 4/3.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "replace y with x and x with y to get x = y^2 + 4/3\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtract 4/3 from both sides of the equation to get x - 4/3 = y^2\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "take the square root of both sides of the equation to get y = plus or minus square root of (x - 4/3)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that should be your answer.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = plus or minus sqrt(x - 4/3)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to show that these are inverse equations, then graph the original equation and graph the two inverse equations and then graph the line y = x and then graph the line y = -x + 5\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the equations are inverse, then they should be reflections about the line y = x.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if they are reflections about the line y = x, then their coordinates are interposed.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x,y) on one side of the line y = x is the same distance from (y,x) on the other side of the line y = x.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this can be shown on the graph by using their intersections with the line y = -x + 5, with the 5 being arbitrarily chosen for clarity.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the graph is shown below:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you can see that the red line and blue line are reflections about the line y = x and you can see that the red line and the orange line are reflections about the line y = x.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the red line is y = x^2 + 4/3\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the blue line is y = sqrt(x - 4/3)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the orange line is y = -sqrt(x - 4/3)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
