ok
we have to find the inverse
function of h^-1
3y=x-8
3y+8=x
h^-1=3x+8
multiply
(x-3)(3x+8)
fg would be (x-3)^2-9
than you solve for the equation
@wise atlas you get it?
that part is correct
you multiply (x-3)(3x+8)
yep
is inequality
ye after u do that
0 is bigger so
its like a full inequality
its this part of the graph
3/7<x<8
Yes
thats a good question
free marks
Yh
How free marks
not exactly thats just a method to work it out
like if f(x) = 5x + 2
if you write y = 5x+2
then Rearrange for x
(y-2)/5 = x
now replace the y with x
u get (x-2)/5
and thats f^-1
why replace y with x
So y is just a temporary variable
i guess u can think of it like that
and then you bring the X from f(x) back
Do you have an example question of it that I can do
yes
almost
What did I do wrong ?
oh I forgot yes
np
I’ll try this now
where u get x^3 from
no shot a year 10 is cooking
any value inside f(x) is x
so like if we did f(5) then substitue x for 5
f(x-3) - substitute x for x-3
f of what is inside function g
yes
oh
😂 let him cook
yes so
(x-3)^2 - 9
its just hella long tho
the right side is correct
its from a predicted paper
i think thats ur old one
Tell me why I was seeing x^3
he corrected it
Bouta back out the cubic formula
… a past mistake
rearrange to make it <0
Wait I am meant to switch the sign right
replace < with = and solve using quadratic formula
quadratic formula ???
u cant factorise that
how did this function question becomes quadratic but ok
😂
On a calc maybe
I would still try and factorise
Fr
you get x = 3/7, x = 8
the quadratic is <0
so your looking for this part of the graph
u gotta rewrite as an inequality
<0 is a clue that its one big inequality
Why we drawing a graph
Because
if the quadratic was >0
then ur answer is x>8
x<3/7
but its smaller than 0
thats if the quadratic is >0
That’s the roots?
yes
On x axis
And then do we need the turning point
here u can see x>8
x<3/7
Why u highlighted the up points yellow
thats >0
theres 2 diff ones
<0 is the curved line
underneath
thats just a normal inequality
3/7<x<8
if the symbol was <= 0
then 3/7<=x<=8
So we just need to focus on the x axis
well u dont have to draw the graph but it helps u visualise it
ye
let say
x^2 + 2 < 0
then u want the line below x axis
if x^2 + 2 > 0 then u want those 2 points above
yes
Imaginary solutions I swear tho for that one 😭
💀 idk i made it up
only an example
we we even need an inequality though
why*
because its an inequality
ye
if it said "="
x = 3/7 x = 8
then just leave it like that
thats if it said =
u cant cuz the question had < symbol
yes
if u did what u did u will prob get 4 or 5
Was the question < 0 or > 0
<0
Got u
when u rearrange to the side with positive x^2 its <0
This is what I saw
When I opened this
Then I clicked on it and the question was there
prolly a bug
3/7 < x < 8
yeh
How do we know if it’s < or <=
question will show it
like a line below it
I understand now
">" with a line below it, means bigger than or equal to
just do the same steps
but use that symbol isntead
yes
thanks
np
The question is nice marks now that I understand
