The inverse of the function is 
Explanation:
To find the inverse of the equation 
, we need to interchange the variables x and y for the variables y and x.
Thus, the equation becomes
Now, we shall find the value of y.
Now, adding 8 to both sides of the equation, we have,
Interchanging the sides,
Dividing by 2 on both sides,
Taking square root on both sides,
Thus, the inverse of the function is
Answer:
0.5%/year
24.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimate the average yearly increase in the percentage of first-year college females claiming no religious affiliation
Percentage of females by year:
1980 = 6.2%
1990 = 10.8%
2000 = 13.6%
2012 = 21.7%
Average yearly increase :
Percentage increase between 1980 - 2012 :
2012% - 1980% = ( 21.7% - 6.2%) = 15.5% increase over [(2012 - 1980)] = 32 years
15.5 % / 32 years = 0.484375% / year = 0.5%/year
b. Estimate the percentage of first-year college females who will claim no religious affiliation in 2030,
Given an average increase of 0.484375% / year
(2030 - 1980) = 50 years
Hence by 2030 ; ( 50 years × 0.484375%/year) = 24.218% will claim no religious affiliation.
=24.2% (nearest tenth)
Let x be the rate of the slower bicyclist and
x + 4 be the rate of the faster bicyclist
Since the bicyclists are headed towards opposite directions, the sum of the distances they covered traveling for one hour and 15 minutes should be equal to 40 km based on the given conditions above. This may be expressed as,
(x)(1.25) + (x + 4)(1.25) = 40
Calculating gives x = 14
Thus, the rate of the bicyclists are 14 km/h and 18 km/h.
