The function A(b) relates the area of a trapezoid with a given height of 10 and
one base length of 7 with the length of its other base.
It takes as input the other base value, and returns as output the area of the
trapezoid.
A(b) = 10.57?
Which equation below represents the inverse function B(a), which takes the
trapezoid's area as input and returns as output the length of the other base?
O A. B(a) = -7
B. B(a) = 9, -5

Answer:

[tex]B(a)=\frac{a}{5} -7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The input it taken as the unknown base value, while the output here is the area of the trapezoid. b is therefore the base value, and A( b ) is the area of the trapezoid. Let's formulate the equation for the area of the trapezoid, and isolate the area of the trapezoid. To find the inverse of this function, switch y ( this is A( b ) ) and b, solving for y once more, y ➡ y ⁻ ¹.

y = height [tex]*[/tex] ( ( unknown base value ( b ) + 7 ) / 2 ),

y = 10 [tex]*[/tex] ( ( b + 7 ) / 2 )

Now switch the positions of y and b -

b = 10 [tex]*[/tex] ( ( y + 7 ) / 2 ) or [tex]b=\frac{\left(y+7\right)\cdot \:10}{2}[/tex] - now that we are going to take the inverse ( y ⁻ ¹ ) or B( a ), b will now be changed to a,

[tex]y+7=\frac{a}{5}[/tex],

[tex]y^{-1}=\frac{a}{5}-7 = B(a)[/tex]

Therefore the equation that represents the inverse function will be the following : B(a) = a / 5 - 7
