Please, I am begging. I don't understand inverses.

Step-by-step explanation:

a function f(x) defines a y-value for any valid x-value.

that's why it is often written as y = f(x).

the inverse function of an original function just turns the question upside down.

now we want to see for a given y-value of the original function, what was the original x-value to get this y.

therefore we try to transform the original equation that calculates y out of x into one that calculates x out of y.

so, in our example

f(x) = y = -4x - 3

4x + y = -3

4x = -y - 3

x = (-y - 3) / 4

in order to keep the usual terminology with functions also for inverse functions, which are in the end nothing else than functions again, we then name the input variable "x" again, and the result "y".

so, the inverse function is therefore as a function of x

y = (-x - 3) / 4

for x = -3, y = (--3 - 3) / 4 = (3-3) / 4 = 0

when we have y for the inverse function looking for its corresponding x value, then we are investing the inverse function and come back to the original function.

so, for y=-3 of the inverse function that means x=-3 for the inverse inverse (or original) function looking for the y, which is then the x of the inverse function.

f(-3) = -4×-3 - 3 = 12 - 3 = 9 = x of the inverse function.

for x=5 of the inverse function, y = (-5-3)/4 = -8/4 = -2

for y=5 of the inverse function that means x=5 for the inverse inverse (or original) function looking for the y, which is then the x of the inverse function.

f(5) = -4×5 - 3 = -20 - 3 = -23 = x of the inverse function.

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".

the answer will be the last one
