Find the inverse of the given function. (pictured below)

4

3

0

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = y = -1/2 × sqrt(x+3)

2y = -sqrt(x+3)

4y² = x + 3

x = 4y² - 3

now renaming this, so that the normal symbols and names are used for this function definition, so that the input variable is called "x" :

f-1(x) = 4x² - 3

basically, just by itself, this function would be defined for all possible real values of x.

but because it is the inverse of the original function, which generates only values of y<=0, then for the inverse function that same range applies for its input variable x

x<=0

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
