Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]f'(x) = \frac{1}{5}x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) = 5x[/tex] --- Nickel to Penny

Required

Determine the function that converts penny to nickel

This question implies that we determine the inverse of the function.

We have:

[tex]f(x) = 5x[/tex]

Represent f(x) with y

[tex]y = 5x[/tex]

Swap the positions of x and y

[tex]x = 5y[/tex]

Make y the subject by dividing both sides by 5

[tex]\frac{1}{5}x = \frac{5y}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{5}x = y[/tex]

[tex]y =\frac{1}{5}x[/tex]

Replace y with f'(x)

[tex]f'(x) = \frac{1}{5}x[/tex]

Hence, the function that converts x pennies to nickels is [tex]f'(x) = \frac{1}{5}x[/tex]
