Sketch a graph of the given pair of functions to conjecture a relationship between the two functions. Then verify the conjecture. $$\tan ^{-1} x ; \frac{\pi}{2}-\cot ^{-1} x$$
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?
a. Let \(g(x)=2 x+3\) and \(h(x)=x^{3} .\) Consider the composite function \(f(x)=g(h(x))\). Find \(f^{-1}\) directly and then express it in terms of \(g^{-1}\) and \(h^{-1}\). b. Let \(g(x)=x^{2}+1\) and \(h(x)=\sqrt{x} .\) Consider the composite function \(f(x)=g(h(x))\). Find \(f^{-1}\) directly and then express it in terms of \(g^{-1}\) and \(h^{-1}\). c. Explain why if \(g\) and \(h\) are one-to-one, the inverse of \(f(x)=g(h(x))\) exists.
Beginning with the graphs of \(y=\sin x\) or \(y=\cos x,\) use shifting and scaling transformations to sketch the graph of the following functions. Use a graphing utility only to check your work. $$q(x)=3.6 \cos (\pi x / 24)+2$$
The Earth is approximately circular in cross section, with a circumference at the equator of 24,882 miles. Suppose we use two ropes to create two concentric circles; one by wrapping a rope around the equator and then a second circle that is \(38 \mathrm{ft}\) longer than the first rope (see figure). How much space is between the ropes?
