Hector and Linh are working individually on a problem involving the function f(x) = x^2 - 5.
On a domain where f is invertible, Hector says that f^-1(4) = 3, and Linh says that
f^-1 (4) = -3
Is Hector correct? Is Linh correct? Justify your answer

d .tv

step-by-step explanation:

the side tv is included in both triangles.   this means it corresponds to itself in the transformation.

this is justified by using the reflexive property, which states that anything is congruent to itself.

x^2 + 10x + 38 + 161/x-4

to find this, you'll need to synthetically divide using synthetic division.

here's how you would set it up:

4 is what you're dividing by (set x -4 = 0)

the numbers you are 'dividing' by are 1, 6, -2, and 9 or the coefficients of the terms listed above.

bring the first term down (1), multiply that by 4 before raising it to the next term to add (6). repeat this process as so:

6 + 4 = 10; 10 x 4 = 40; 40 - 2 = 38 x 4 = 152 + 9 = 161

161 is over x-4 as there are now two constants and you cannot combine them.

also, i'm not sure if it was -9 or +9, so i assumed.

hope this !
