Is the inverse of a linear function not a function?
The inverse of a linear function is always a linear function. There are a few ways to approach this.To think about it, you can imagine flipping the x and y axes. Essentially this equates to turning the graph of the linear function on its side to reveal the new inverse function which is still a straight line.More rigorously, the linear function y = ax + b has the inverse equation x = (1/a)y - (b/a). This is a linear function in y.
What is the difference between a linear and exponential function?
A linear function grows ( or shrinks) at a constant rate called its slope.An exponential function grows ( or shrinks) at a rate which increases(or decreases)over time. From a practical standpoint linear growth (or shrinkage) is simple and predictable. Exponential growth is essentially out of control and unsustainableand exponential decay soon becomes negligible.if y=az + b then y is a linear function of z. If y=aebz then y is an exponential function of z. If y= acbz then y is still an exponential function of z because you can substitute c=ek (so that k=logec) to give you y=aekbz .
How many miles along 25 linear acres?
There's no such thing as a linear acre. A field of 25 acres can be as long as youwant it to be, if it's skinny enough.The most compact 25-acre rectangle is a square that's 1,043.55 feet on every side.But if it's 206.25 miles long and 1 foot wide, it's still 25 acres.
What is the slope of a curve line?
The slope of a curved line changes as you go along the curve and so you may have a different slope at each point. Any any particular point, the slope of the curve is the slope of the straight line which is tangent to the curve at that point. If you know differential calculus, the slope of a curved line at a point is the value of the first derivative of the equation of the curve at that point. (Actually, even if you don't know differential calculus, the slope is still the value of the function's first derivative at that point.)
What is a 0 sided shape called?
A 0-sided shape is called a circle. Yes, I know it sounds like a trick question, but a circle technically has 0 sides because it's defined by its curved boundary. So, there you have it, a shape with no sides but still manages to be round and fabulous.
