Which statement is correct about y = cos^–1 x?

A) If the domain of y=cos(x) is restricted to [0, π], y=cos^-1(x) is a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the inverse function to be a function, the original must pass the horizontal line test: a horizontal line must intersect the function in only one place.

As you can see from the attached graph, restricting the cosine function to the domain [0, π] allows it to pass the horizontal line test, so its inverse will be a function.

Restricting the domain to [-π/2, π/2] does not limit cos(x) to something that will pass the horizontal line test.

70

step-by-step explanation:

2*5=10

4*15=60

60+10=

70

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
