Let f(x)= x^3 + 2x + 1, and assume that f^-1 exists and has domain (-∞,∞). Simplify each expression.

f[f^-1(4)]



Do I have to find the inverse and how? because I don't know how else to solve it. thankswhat

1. I do not know how to find the equation using the given, x intercept -6 and y intercept √2..


2. P = -t^2 + 26t +106 where 1 ≤ x ≤ 13
         After approx. how many days will 250 people have caught the flu?

Do I just plug in days to find out the approx.? or is there a definite computation?

More problems hmm I don't know what steps I must take to find X or Y.

1.   1/y + 1 = 3/y - 1/2y

oops thx big_smile that makes a lot more sense because I mess up on writing the problem touched

it was supposed to be a²x + bx - a²z - bz

thx for overlooking that mistake. and thx so much for helping me.

#5 Re: Help Me ! » Grouping » 2009-10-02 11:53:53

Or does it become

             (x - z) (a^4 - b²)  ?

Is it possible to solve this problem with the grouping method? It ask to use the grouping method on this to simplify but I think it is not possible.


a²x + bx - a²z - bx

Hi how do I find the derivatives of:

y= X^X

and

y=X^X^X


My teacher say it is involves implicit solving and natural log "ln"

Moose that thinking process has been done. I believe I post it above but also another thing is that (A)(B)(C) can not all equal 1 and like Identity showed me is that we must use invert substitution that will also give us the result of one. Not just 1*1*1.dizzy

#11 Re: Help Me ! » Need Help!!! » 2008-08-11 10:04:41

by using the variable "h" you are referring to {\delta} right?

Have you check the "hidden text" given by Daniel and Maths up on top it should help you its done step by step using the limit formula. Just click on it and study it but then it wont help on all of the problems.

So I have one question how would I solve something such as

        f(x)= -x² - x + 1    and f(x)= √ x

#13 Re: Help Me ! » Need Help!!! » 2008-08-09 06:38:26

Kurtz

So we're practically subtracting "f" by one time so like

f(x)= X^2 + 14
               will end up with
                                      lim x      because everything else would be cancelled right?

#14 Re: Help Me ! » I am useless at proving inequalities » 2008-08-08 15:20:01

Kurtz

So what if A*B*C=1 then wouldnt it also all be 1?
because A times B times C = 1 which could be substituted as A=1 B=1 C=1

which is A(1)*B(1)*C(1)=1

Then we're proving the equation false?

I hope I'm not spamming because I have alot to learn still....

But anyways have you tried

if abc= 1 then   1 + 3     ≥     6
                            ___        ____
                         Variable    Double Variable

hmm I'm thinking that A+B+C = 1:D plz dont get mad if it seems off the wall.
and it may go the same with the other one but with two abc variable but mixed up which adds to 2, so it might look like this.....

1+ 3  ≥   6
    ---     ---    =    4  ≥  6
     1       2           ---   ---  =   4 ≥ 3              to me it seems to prove the problem hope i helped

Unfortunately yes it is thats why I'm pretty confused sad because this how its asked.

Limits and Funtions

For each function, find       lim     f(x+Δx)-f(x)
                                   Δx->0    --------------
                                                       Δx

1. f(x)= -3x + 2

2. f(x)= x^2

             and so on.....

A 150 kg steel rod in a building under construction supports a load of 6050 kg. During the day, the rod's temperature increases from 22 degree celsius to 47 degree celsius. This temperature increase causes the rod to thermally expand and raise the laod 5.5 mm.

a. Find the energy transferred as heat to or from the rod.(Hint: Assume the specific heat capacity of steel is the same as for iron.)

b. Find the work done in this process. Is work done on or by the rod?

c. How great if the change in the rod's internal energy? Does the rod's internal energy increase or decrease?

What should I use to solve this problem?

A boat moves through the water with two forces acting on it. One is a 2.10 x 10^3 N forward push by the motor, and the other is a 1.80 x 10^3 N resistive force die to the water.
a.If it starts from rest, how far will it move in 12 s?
b.What will its speed be at the end of this time interval?
