math help pls, thank you! show steps if needed

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:6) y = x^(5/3)7) B8) C10) AStep-by-step explanation:6) The fifth root is the same as raising to the 1/5 power, so we can write this in exponent form as:f(x) = (x^(1/5))Β³f(x) = x^(3/5)To find the inverse, switch x and y and solve for y.x = y^(3/5)y = x^(5/3)7) f(x) = 2√(x βˆ’ 4) + 8Switch the x and y and solve for y:x = 2√(y βˆ’ 4) + 8x βˆ’ 8 = 2√(y βˆ’ 4)(x βˆ’ 8) / 2 = √(y βˆ’ 4)(x βˆ’ 8)Β² / 4 = y βˆ’ 4(xΒ² βˆ’ 16x + 64) / 4 = y βˆ’ 4ΒΌxΒ² βˆ’ 4x + 16 = y βˆ’ 4y = ΒΌxΒ² βˆ’ 4x + 208) Find the inverse:x = 5√(y + 3) βˆ’ 2x + 2 = 5√(y + 3)(x + 2) / 5 = √(y + 3)(x + 2)Β² / 25 = y + 3y = -3 + (x + 2)Β² / 25The inverse function is an upwards parabola with a vertex at (-2, -3).
