answer:The inverse of the function ( f(x) ) is given by: [ f^{-1}(y) = frac{1}{4} (sin(y) - 2) ] where ( y ) is in the domain ( -frac{pi}{2} leq y leq frac{pi}{2} ).

answer:In the evening, you can greet someone with "Good evening" followed by a question like "How are you?" or "How was your day?". Here's a simple example: A: Good evening, John! How was your day? B: Good evening, Alice! It was pretty good, thanks for asking. How about yours? A: It was fine, just a bit busy. Remember that "Good evening" is more formal than casual greetings like "Hi" or "Hey", but it's appropriate for the evening time. Other responses to "How are you?" might include "I'm doing well, thanks" or "Can't complain". If the conversation is more formal, you might use "Good evening" as a standalone greeting before moving on to other topics.

answer:To calculate the annual straight-line depreciation for each asset, we need to divide the total cost of the asset by its useful life. For Asset A: Total cost = 3,000,000 + 400,000 = 3,400,000 Useful life = 15 years Annual depreciation = 3,400,000 / 15 = 226,666.67 For Asset B: Total cost = 1,260,000 + 220,000 = 1,480,000 Useful life = 6 years Annual depreciation = 1,480,000 / 6 = 246,666.67 Therefore, Asset B will have 20,000 more in depreciation per year (246,666.67 - 226,666.67 = 20,000). Asset B will have 20,000 more in depreciation per year.

answer:Random LP problems can be created by substituting the coefficients and constraints in a standard LP problem with random numbers. The example given involves optimizing storage volume by deciding the number of Cabinet X and Cabinet Y units to purchase, subject to cost, floor space, and storage capacity constraints. Verifying a solution to an LP problem is generally faster than finding it. Verification involves simply substituting the proposed solution back into the equations and checking if it satisfies all constraints and the objective function. In contrast, finding the solution requires algorithms like the simplex method, interior point method, or ellipsoid method. LP problems can be solved in polynomial time, and their solutions can be verified in polynomial time as well. This means that the time difference between solving and verifying is not as significant as for NP-complete problems. To check if an LP problem is solvable, you can attempt to solve it or test for feasibility by removing the objective function or using a trivial one. Feasibility can be determined using a linear programming solver, which will indicate if there's a solution that satisfies all constraints. Testing for feasibility might be slightly faster than solving for the optimal solution, but there's no guaranteed computational advantage. Unfortunately, there's no perfect method to predict the difficulty of solving an LP problem without solving it. However, modern LP solvers are highly efficient, so small to medium-sized problems (like the one mentioned with a few variables and constraints) typically solve almost instantaneously, regardless of the specific random numbers used. Therefore, it's often more practical to solve the problem directly rather than trying to estimate its difficulty.
