Which fraction is the largest? 3/4 ,4/5, 7/8, or 5/4? and why?

Answers

5/4 because if you simplify it, it's 1 1/4 and with the '1' it makes it greater than the rest
The largest is 5/4 because the LCD of this fraction is the smallest one of the group we have

Elmer has a collection of 300 fossils. Of these, 21 percent are fossilized snail shells.

Answers

In order to figure out the number of fossilized snail shell, multiply 21% by 300. first change 21% into a decimal, in order to do that, move the percent symbol two spaces to the left, and replace the "%" symbol to a decimal. 0.21 X 300= 63
so 21% of 300 is 63

Which function has an inverse function a) f(x)=|x-4|+1 (b) f(x)=25x^2+70x+49 (c) x^4 (d) x+3÷7

Answers

Answer:

f(x)=(x+3)/(7) is f^(-1)(x)=7x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Property of inverse function:

The function should be bijective function ( one-to-one and onto)

Option A) f(x)=|x-4|+1

It is absolute function. Not one-to-one function.

Domain: All real (-∞,∞)

Range: [1,∞)

False ( Inverse not possible )

Option B) f(x)=25x^2+70x+49

It is quadratic function. Not one-to-one function.

Domain: All real (-∞,∞)

Range: [0,∞)

False ( Inverse not possible )

Option C) f(x)=x^4

It is polynomial function with even degree. Not one-to-one function.

Domain: All real (-∞,∞)

Range: [0,∞)

False ( Inverse not possible )

Option D) f(x)=(x+3)/(7)

It is linear function. one-to-one and onto

Domain: All real (-∞,∞)

Range: All real (-∞,∞)

True ( Inverse possible )

Inverse of f(x)=(x+3)/(7) is f^(-1)(x)=7x-3

Hence, The function inverse function f(x)=(x+3)/(7) is f^(-1)(x)=7x-3

Answer: Hello there!

A function only can have an inverse if the function is injective and surjective (and continuous):

Then we need to see; if f(x1) = f(x2) = y, and x1 is different from x2, then f(x) has not an inverse:

a) f(x) = Ix - 4I + 1

for example, f(0) = I-4I + 1 = 5

and f(8) = I8 -4I + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

then f(x) does not have an inverse

b) f(x) = 25x^2 + 70x + 49

This is a cuadratic function, wich is graphed as a arc going up or down, wich means that there are two values of x that give the same value for f(x), then this function has not inverse. (this will be the case for all even powers)

c) f(x) = x^4

Again, an even power. But let's probe it:

f(1) = 1^4 = 1

f(-1) = (-1)^4 = 1

f(x) does not have an inverse:

d) f(x) = x + 3/7

Ok, here we have a linear equation, wich means that is injective and surjective.

The inverse of this function can be g(x) = x - 3/7

proof:

f(g(x)) = f( x - 3/7) = (x - 3/7) + 3/7 = x

then f and g are inverses of each other.

(if in this case f(x) = (x + 3)/7 = x/7 + 3/7 is also a linear equation, so it is injective and surjective (and continuous), wich implies that has an inverse)
