f(-1 *1) = f(-1) = (7(-1)+2)/4 = -5/4
f (-1) ^-1 is then 1/(-5/4) = - 4/5
Example 3 months 23(3)+7 = 216 =65536
2 months 23(2)+7 = 213 = 8192
216 / 213 = 23 = 8 times
Here is a graph of both of them:

x * x = 181 ft2
x = sqrt 181 = ........ ft
Bike 4 hr * 12 m/hr = 48 miles
Walk 2 miles
50 miles / (4+ 1 hrs) = 10 m/hr av
314/37 = 8 18/37
The other root will be (13 + sqrt131)/4
So you have (x -(13+ sqrt131)/4)(x-(13-sqrt131)/4) expand and simplify
x^2 - 13/2 x + 38/16 multiply by 8 to get integer coefficients
8x^2 - 52x+ 19
t/c = 6/5 (this is given)
t/10 = 6/5
t = 10 * 6/5 = 12 Now you try the 'b' part
Here is one way:
The width is 3 out of (5+3) = 3/8
the length is 5 out of (5+3) = 5/8
3/8 x = 45
x = 120
5/8 x = 75 cm
Here is a simpler way
45 is to 3 as x is to 5
45/3 = x/5 solve for x
5 * 45/3 = 75 cm
