The inverse of y = x(x - 2) 2016-12-21
From Sasha:
Hello, I recently stumbled upon this question and I haven't been able to figure it out.

Why is the inverse of y=x(x-2) not a function?

Suggest a domain restriction which would ensure that the inverse is a function.

Thank You :)

A sales tax of 7% 2016-12-07
From Kenneth:
Hello:

If a sales tax of 7% is placed on every $1.00 of merchandise for sale, is it correct to indicate the tax as 7%/ per $1.00 or 7%/$1.00? If the calculation is expressed as 7%/$1.00 X $5.00, the tax is not $0.35 but 0.35. Is a tax rate of 7% incorrectly represented as 7%/$1.00 since the dollar unit cancels from the multiplication?

I thank you for your reply.
