Math Problem Statement

Jika g(x) = x^2 + 4 dengan x ≥ 0, maka nilai dari g^(-1)(13) adalah...

Solution

The problem in the image can be translated as follows:

"If g(x)=x2+4g(x) = x^2 + 4 with x0x \geq 0, then the value of g1(13)g^{-1}(13) is..."

Solution:

  1. The function g(x)=x2+4g(x) = x^2 + 4 is given, and we are asked to find g1(13)g^{-1}(13).

  2. The inverse function, g1(y)g^{-1}(y), will return the value of xx such that g(x)=yg(x) = y.

  3. Set g(x)=13g(x) = 13: x2+4=13x^2 + 4 = 13 Subtract 4 from both sides: x2=9x^2 = 9 Taking the square root of both sides, we get: x=9=3x = \sqrt{9} = 3

    Since the condition x0x \geq 0 is given, we discard the negative root.

Therefore, the value of g1(13)g^{-1}(13) is 3\boxed{3}.

Here are five related questions to explore this concept further:

  1. How do you determine the domain of an inverse function?
  2. What is the significance of the condition x0x \geq 0 in this problem?
  3. How would you graph both g(x)g(x) and g1(x)g^{-1}(x) on the same plane?
  4. What would change if the function were g(x)=x2+1g(x) = x^2 + 1 instead of x2+4x^2 + 4?
  5. How do you find the inverse of a general quadratic function?

Tip: When finding the inverse of a function, always make sure that the function is one-to-one (or restricted) over the given domain, so that an inverse exists.
