1. Determine whether f is one-to-one in each case.


a) f ( x ) = 1 + 4x − x2 b) f (t) is the height of a football t seconds after kickoff.

2. Find a formula for the inverse of the function.


√ 4x − 1
a) f ( x ) = 10 − 3x b) 2x3 + 3 c)
2x + 3

3. If a bacteria population starts with 100 bacteria and doubles every three hours, then
the number of bacteria after t hours is n = f (t) = 100.2t/3 .
(a) Find the inverse of this function and explain its meaning.
(b) When will the population reach 50,000?

4. When a camera flash goes off, the batteries immediately begin to recharge the flash’s
capacitor, which stores electric charge given by
 
Q(t) = Q0 1 − e−t/a .

(The maximum charge capacity is Q0 and t is measured in seconds.)


a) Find the inverse of this function and explain its meaning.
b) How long does it take to recharge the capacitor to 90% of capacity if a = 2?
5. Find the domain and range of the function

g( x ) = sin−1 (3x + 1).

6. If a ball is thrown into the air with a velocity of 40 ft/s, its height in feet after t seconds
is given by y = 40t − 16t2 .
a) Find the average velocity for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting
(i) 0.5 s (ii) 0.1 s (iii) 0.05 s (iv) 0.01 s
b) Find the instantaneous velocity when t = 2.
