If f(x)=square root (6x+12) then f^-1=1/square root(6x+12)?

f(x) = (6x+12)^(1/2).


To find
the inverse function of f(x).


Let f^(-1) (x) = y be the
inverse function of f(x).


 The x =
f(y).


By definition, f(y) =  put y in  place of x iin
(6x+12)^1/2).


=> f(y) =
(6y+12)^(1/2).


=> x =
(6y+12)^(1/2).


We square both
sides:


x^2 = 6y+12.


x^2-12 =
6y.


Therefore y =
1/6(x^2-12).


Therefore f^(-1) (x) =  y = (1/6)x^2 - 2 is
the inverse of f(x).  f^(1) (x) = y i= not 1/sqrt(6x+12).

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
