Solution

I see that you've uploaded an image containing several math questions. Let's go through them one by one:

Question 10:

Which is not a property of an inverse function? a. The inverse of f1(x)f^{-1}(x) is f(x)f(x).
b. f(f1(x))=xf(f^{-1}(x)) = x for all xx in the domain of ff.
c. f1(f(x))=xf^{-1}(f(x)) = x for all xx in the domain of f1f^{-1}.
d. f(f1(x))=xf(f^{-1}(x)) = x for all xx in the domain of f1f^{-1}.

Answer: The correct answer is d.
Explanation: Option d states that f(f1(x))=xf(f^{-1}(x)) = x for all xx in the domain of f1f^{-1}, which is incorrect. The correct statement should be f(f1(x))=xf(f^{-1}(x)) = x for all xx in the domain of ff.

Question 11:

What is the inverse of 6x5-6x - 5? a. x+56-\frac{x+5}{6}
b. x56-\frac{x-5}{6}
c. x+56\frac{x+5}{6}
d. x56\frac{x-5}{6}

Answer: The correct answer is c: x+56\frac{x+5}{6}.
Explanation: To find the inverse, switch xx and yy in the equation y=6x5y = -6x - 5, and solve for yy: x=6y5    y=x+56x = -6y - 5 \implies y = \frac{x + 5}{6}

Question 12:

What is the inverse of (x+1)31(x+1)^3 - 1? a. x+131\sqrt[3]{x + 1} - 1
b. x+13+1\sqrt[3]{x + 1} + 1
c. x+1+13\sqrt[3]{x + 1 + 1}
d. x13+1\sqrt[3]{x - 1} + 1

Answer: The correct answer is d: x13+1\sqrt[3]{x - 1} + 1.
Explanation: Start by setting y=(x+1)31y = (x+1)^3 - 1, and solve for xx: [ y + 1 = (x+1)^3 \implies \sqrt[3]{y + 1} = x + 1 \implies x = \sqrt[3]{y + 1} - 1 ]

Question 13:

What is the inverse of g(x)=9x+20g(x) = 9x + 20? a. g1(x)=x209g^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 20}{9}
b. g1(x)=x+209g^{-1}(x) = \frac{x + 20}{9}
c. g1(x)=x+920g^{-1}(x) = \frac{x + 9}{20}
d. g1(x)=x920g^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 9}{20}

Answer: The correct answer is a: g1(x)=x209g^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 20}{9}.
Explanation: To find the inverse, solve the equation y=9x+20y = 9x + 20 for xx: y20=9x    x=y209y - 20 = 9x \implies x = \frac{y - 20}{9}
