s/18=64/288, multiply both sides by 18 yields s=1152/288, thus s=4 ft. Therefore, Sarah's height is four feet.

Find the inverse of y=x2-10x
AnnZ [12381]
<span>This is quite challenging, but here’s the solution:
</span>

y = x^2 - 10x + 25 - 25

<span> y = (x-5)^2 - 25</span>

<span> y + 25 = (x-5)^2</span>

<span> x - 5 = ±sqrt(y+25)</span>

 

<span> You will derive TWO inverses:</span>

 

<span> x = 5 + sqrt(y+25),</span> for x ≥ 5

<span> x = 5 - sqrt(y+25),</span> for x ≤ 5

Given f(x) = x3 – 2x2 – x + 2, the roots of f(x) are
PIT_PIT [12445]
The expression in question is:

f(x) = x³ – 2x² – x + 2

To determine the roots, follow these steps:

1. Set the equation to zero:

0 = x³ – 2x² – x + 2

2. Factor the equation to get:

(x-2)(x-1)(x+1) = 0

3. The roots can be identified as follows:

x1 = -1
x2 = 1
x3 = 2

If f is a function, then f(3x)=3f(x)
babunello [11817]
This statement is incorrect.
In f(3x), the input 'x' is multiplied by 3 prior to being substituted into the function.
Conversely, with 3f(x), the result (output) is multiplied by 3 after you have calculated the output from the input value.

AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

Vertex: (1, -4)

intercept: (-3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's be honest, you're not here for a detailed breakdown; you simply want the answer.

HOWEVER... the vertex corresponds to the Y-axis while the intercept aligns with the X-axis.
