Find a formula for a function describing the given situation. Graph the function and give a domain that makes sense for the problem. Recall that with constant speed. distance \(=\) speed \(\cdot\) time elapsed or \(d=v t\) A function \(y=f(x)\) such that if you run at a constant rate of \(5 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{hr}\) for \(x\) hours, then you run \(y\) miles
Consider the quartic polynomial \(y=f(x)=x^{4}-x^{2}\). a. Graph \(f\) and estimate the largest intervals on which it is one-to-one. The goal is to find the inverse function on each of these intervals. b. Make the substitution \(u=x^{2}\) to solve the equation \(y=f(x)\) for \(x\) in terms of \(y .\) Be sure you have included all possible solutions. c. Write each inverse function in the form \(y=f^{-1}(x)\) for each of the intervals found in part (a).
Let \(f\) be an \(n\) th-degree polynomial and let \(g\) be an \(m\) th-degree polynomial. What is the degree of the following polynomials? a. \(f \cdot f\) b. \(f^{\circ} f\) c. \(f \cdot g\) d. \(f^{\circ} g\)
The height of a baseball hit straight up from the ground with an initial velocity of \(64 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\) is given by \(h=f(t)=\) \(64 t-16 t^{2},\) where \(t\) is measured in seconds after the hit. a. Is this function one-to-one on the interval \(0 \leq t \leq 4 ?\) b. Find the inverse function that gives the time \(t\) at which the ball is at height \(h\) as the ball travels upward. Express your answer in the form \(t=f^{-1}(h)\). c. Find the inverse function that gives the time \(t\) at which the ball is at height \(h\) as the ball travels downward. Express your answer in the form \(t=f^{-1}(h)\). d. At what time is the ball at a height of \(30 \mathrm{ft}\) on the way up? e. At what time is the ball at a height of \(10 \mathrm{ft}\) on the way down?
