I'm guessing you're given the function y(x)=2-x^3 , and you're asked to find the inverse function $y^{-1}(x)$ . To do this, swap and , then solve for :

$x=2-y^3\implies y^3=2-x\implies y=(2-x)^{1/3}=\sqrt[3]{2-x}$

so that the inverse function is

$y^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[3]{2-x}$

Just to verify:

$y(y^{-1}(x))=y(\sqrt[3]{2-x})=2-(\sqrt[3]{2-x})^3=2-(2-x)=x$

$y^{-1}(y(x))=y^{-1}(2-x^3)=\sqrt[3]{2-(2-x^3)}=\sqrt[3]{x^3}=x$

But in case you're actually only interested in computing the square root, first we note that $\sqrt x$ (the real-valued square root) is only defined as long as $x\ge0$ . So $\sqrt{-x^3}$ is defined as long as $-x^3\ge0$ , or $x^3\le0$ , or equivalently $x\le0$ . Under this condition, we could write

$\sqrt{-x^3}=\sqrt{-x\times x^2}=\sqrt{-x}\sqrt{x^2}$

We can simplify this further, but we have to be careful. Suppose x=-1 . Then x^2=(-1)^2=1 . But we get the same result if x=1 , since x^2=1^2=1 . There are two possible values of that given the same value of x^2 , so to capture both of them, we take $\sqrt{x^2}=|x|$ , the absolute value of . Then

$\sqrt{-x^3}=|x|\sqrt{-x}$

We can't simplify the square root term further than this.

Answer from: Quest

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.

Answercounterclockwise rotation about the origin by 180 degrees followed by reflection about the y-axisexplanationthe given figure has vertices $p(1,2),q(2,1),r(3,2),s(3,3)$ recall that for counterclockwise rotation about the origin, $(x,y)\rightarrow (-x,-y)$ when we rotate figure pqrs counterclockwise through an angle of 180° about the origin, the coordinates will become $p1( - 1, - 2),q1( - 2, - 1),r1( - 3, - 2),s1( - 3, - 3)$ next, we reflect in the y-axis by negating the x-coordinates of the resulting figure to obtain, $p'(1, - 2),q'(2, - 1),r'(3, - 2),s'(3, - 3)$ therefore the correct answer is c
