Answer:

The correct pair of inverse functions is:

Option: C

$f(x)=11x-4\ and\ g(x)=\dfrac{x+4}{11}$

Detailed explanation:

Two functions, f(x) and g(x), are inverses if:

f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x

which means the composition of the two functions results in the identity function regardless of the order.

Given $f(x)=\dfrac{x}{12}+15$ and $g(x)=12x-15$ , compute f(g(x)):

$fog(x)=f(g(x))\\\\fog(x)=f(12x-15)\\\\fog(x)=\dfrac{12x-15}{12}+15\\\\fog(x)=x-\dfrac{15}{12}+15\\\\fog(x)=x-\dfrac{55}{4}\neq x$

Thus, option A is incorrect.

Given $f(x)=\dfrac{3}{x}-10\ and\ g(x)=\dfrac{x+10}{2}$ , compute f(g(x)):

$fog(x)=f(g(x))\\\\fog(x)=f(\dfrac{x+10}{3})\\\\fog(x)=\dfrac{3}{\dfrac{x+10}{3}}-10\\\\fog(x)=\dfrac{9}{x+10}-10\neq x$

Thus, option B is incorrect.

Given $f(x)=9+\sqrt[3]{x}\ and\ g(x)=9-x^3$ , compute f(g(x)):

$fog(x)=f(g(x))\\\\fog(x)=f(9-x^3)$

$fog(x)=9+\sqrt[3]{9-x^3}\neq x$

Thus, option D is incorrect.

Given $f(x)=11x-4\ and\ g(x)=\dfrac{x+4}{11}$ , compute f(g(x)):

$fog(x)=f(g(x))\\\\fog(x)=f(\dfrac{x+4}{11})$

$fog(x)=11\times (\dfrac{x+4}{11})-4\\\\fog(x)=x+4-4\\\\fog(x)=x$

Similarly, compute g(f(x)):

$gof(x)=g(f(x))\\\\gof(x)=g(11x-4)\\\\gof(x)=\dfrac{11x-4+4}{11}\\\\gof(x)=\dfrac{11x}{11}\\\\gof(x)=x$

Hence, option C is correct.

tester [12383]

Answer:

13.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

With six employees and six checks, there are a total of 36 (6x6) possible distributions. To determine the probability that exactly five individuals receive the correct checks, there’s only one correct distribution for each of them out of the 36 possibilities, resulting in the calculation of 1/36 for the first and then 1/36 for the subsequent checks. Therefore, the final probability becomes 5/36 = 13.8%.

Consider the following differential equation. (A computer algebra system is recommended.) (1 + t2)y' + 4ty = (1 + t2)−2 (a) Draw

PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Create a direction field for the specified differential equation

b. By observing the direction field, comment on the behavior of the solutions as t becomes large.

The solutions seem to oscillate

All solutions appear to approach the function y0(t)=4

All solutions seem to converge to the function y0(t)=0

All solutions appear to have negative slopes eventually and thus decrease indefinitely

All solutions seem to have positive slopes eventually and therefore increase without limit

As t approaches infinity

All solutions seem to exhibit positive slopes eventually and thus decrease indefinitely

The solutions seem to gradually approach the function y0(t)=0

All solutions appear to eventually have negative slopes leading to decrease without bounds

All solutions seem to converge to the function y0(t)=4

The results are oscillatory
