Answer:
A. -259
B. inverse function is 1/2 √(-x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to find f(8)
Simply substitute x = 8 in the equation.
The equation is
f(x) = -4x^2 -3
So f(8) = -4(8)^2-3
f(8) = -256-3
f(8) = -259
Inverse of f(x) = -4x^2 -3
Simply equate this to m
m = -4x^2-3
-4x^2 = m + 3
x^2 = (m + 3)/-4
x^2 = -m/4 -3/4
x = √(-m-3)/4
x = 1/2√(-m-3)
Put back the value of x for m
x = 1/2 √(-x-3)
