Concept explainers
(a)
Find the inverse of the given model. Describe what information you can obtain from the inverse.
Given information:
At the start of a dog sled race in Anchorage, Alaska, the temperature was
Concept used:
In order to find the inverse of a function
Step 1: interchange x and y in the given function
Step 2: solve for y and that will give the required inverse function
Calculation:
The inverse of
Thus the inverse of the given function
From the inverse we obtained that adding 32 with 9/5 times Fahrenheit (F) temperature gives the degree Celsius (C) temperature.
(b)
Find the Fahrenheit temperatures at the start and end of the race.
Fahrenheit temperatures at the start
Fahrenheit temperatures at the end
Given information:
At the start of a dog sled race in Anchorage, Alaska, the temperature was
Concept used:
In order to find the inverse of a function
Step 1: interchange x and y in the given function
Step 2: solve for y and that will give the required inverse function
Calculation:
At the start the temperature was
Fahrenheit temperatures at the start −
At the end the temperature was
Fahrenheit temperatures at the start −
(c)
Use a graphic calculator to graph the original function and its inverse. Find the temperature that is the same on both temperature scales.
At -40 both temperature scales are same,

- Directions: Use the equation A = Pet to answer each question and be sure to show all your work. 1. If $5,000 is deposited in an account that receives 6.1% interest compounded continuously, how much money is in the account after 6 years? 2. After how many years will an account have $12,000 if $6,000 is deposited, and the account receives 3.8% interest compounded continuously? 3. Abigail wants to save $15,000 to buy a car in 7 years. If she deposits $10,000 into an account that receives 5.7% interest compounded continuously, will she have enough money in 7 years? 4. Daniel deposits $8,000 into a continuously compounding interest account. After 18 years, there is $13,006.40 in the account. What was the interest rate? 5. An account has $26,000 after 15 years. The account received 2.3% interest compounded continuously. How much was deposited initially?arrow_forwardTRIANGLES INDEPENDENT PRACTICE ription Criangle write and cow Using each picture or description of triangle write and solve an equation in ordering the number of degrees in each angle TRIANGLE EQUATION & WORK ANGLE MEASURES A B -(7x-2)° (4x) (3x)° (5x − 10) C (5x – 2) (18x) E 3.

Remember that: A matrix is in row echelon form if Any row that consists only of zeros is at the bottom of the matrix. The first non-zero entry in each other row is 1. This entry is called aleading 1. The leading 1 of each row, after the first row, lies to the right of the leading 1 of the previous row.arrow_forwardPRIMERA EVALUACIÓN SUMATIVA 10.
