2a)

2b) This is a show kind of answer. The showing of this in the explanation.

2c) I provided the graph.  The lines should be a reflection through the y=x line.  The points (a,b) on y=(1/3)x+2 or swapped to get the points (b,a) on y=3x-6. That is for, example the point (-3,1) is on y=(1/3)x+2 while (1,-3) is on y=3x-6.

Step-by-step explanation:

2a) The inverse of a function is you just swapping x and y around. You also almost always asked to remake y the subject after that though.

So anyways we have this equation to represent that function you have there.

We want to swap x and y:

Now we want to solve for y.

Subtract 2 on both sides:

Multiply both sides by 3:

Distribute:

So they want us to name the inverse g(x).

2b) We want to show by composition that these functions are inverses.  That is we want to show f(g(x))=x and g(f(x))=x.

Let's do that:

f(g(x))

Replace g(x) with 3x-6 since g(x)=3x-6.

f(3x-6)

Replace the old input x with the new input (3x-6) in (1/3)x+2.

Distribute:

Simplify:

.

So we do have f(g(x))=x.

Now to show the other way:

g(f(x))

Replace f(x) with (1/3)x+2 since f(x)=(1/3)x+2.

g((1/3)x+2)

Replace the old input x with the new input (1/3)x+2 in 3x-6.

3((1/3)x+2)-6

Distribute:

Simplify:

So we do have g(f(x))=x.

We have confirmed that f and g are indeed inverses since f(g(x))=x and g(f(x))=x.

2c) Visually if two functions are inverses they should be reflections through the y=x line so that is what we should see since f and g are inverses.

I going to compare both equations to y=mx+b form to determine the y-intercept and the slope.

y=mx+b

y=(1/3)x+2 tells us the slope is 1/3 and the y-intercept is 2.

y=3x-6 tells us the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is -6.

I have color-coded the picture.

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.

costs the what? what is the cost of the pants?

step-by-step explanation:

if it is $10, then the price is 14.

take 40% of the cost, and then add the cost.

40% of 10 = 4

4+10 = 14.
