  Determine whether each of the following graphs represents a one-to-one

function.

2.       For each part below, determine if an inverse for the given f( x )

          exists.   If an inverse exists, then please find the inverse.  

         Otherwise, write “NO INVERSE”.      

 3.    In order to check to make sure we have the right inverse for a

       given f( x ), we can check that  and also that

       .    Using that idea of checking, please check to 　　

　　 make sure that the inverse you got in #2 (a) is the correct inverse

        for f( x ) = 3x + 3.

4.  The following formula can be used to convert Fahrenheit temperatures

     x to Celsius temperatures T(x):

 Find T(-13)  and  T(86).

 Find T-1(x) and explain what it represents.

5.   Please choose which equation represents the following graph:

 f( x ) = -ex

 f( x ) = -ex + 1

 f( x ) = e-x + 1

6.  Please choose which equation represents the following graph:

 f( x ) = 2x - 1

 f( x ) = 2x - 1

 f( x ) = -2x - 1

 f( x ) = -2x – 1

7.  Water initially at 130 degrees Fahrenheit is left in a room of temperature

     70 degrees Fahrenheit to cool.   After t minutes, the temperature T of the

water is given by

Find the temperature of the water 10 minutes after it is left to cool.

8.        Suppose that $100,000 is invested at 4% interest, compounded

 monthly.  Find the amount of money in the account after 10 years.

9.  Find each of the following, and round answer to the nearest 4 decimal places.

10.   Find log4 50 using the change of base formula, and round answer to the

        nearest 4 decimal places.

11.  Students in an accounting class took a final exam and then took equivalent

       forms of the exam at monthly intervals thereafter.   The average score

       S(t), as a percent, after t months was found to be given by the function

              S(t) = 78 – 15 log(t + 1)

 What was the average score when the students initially took the

test?

 What was the average score after 4 months?   after 24 months?
