A pizzeria charges $12 for a medium cheese pizza and two dollars for each additional topping. If f(x)=2x+12 represents the cost of a medium pizza with x toppings, find f^-1(x) and explain its meaning

15.5

step-by-step explanation:

5

∑

n = 1

substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and sum the terms

= + + + 2² + 2³

= 0.5 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 8

= 15.5

it has to have an angle of 90 degrees

in counting the number of heads in 4 coin flips, the probability that we get exactly one head is the probability that we get anyone of the following 4 outcomes: httt, thtt, ttht, or ttth. each has probability 1/16, so the probability to get exactly one head in 4 flips is 1/16 + 1/16 + 1/16 + 1/16 = 4/16 = 1/4.
