Problem 50
For each function, (a) determine whether it is one-to-one and (b) if it is one-to-one, find a formula for the inverse. $$f(x)=x+2$$
Problem 56
Use a calculator to find each of the following rounded to four decimal places. $$ 10^{4.8982} $$
Problem 66
The bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) are commonly found in the human bladder. Suppose that 3000 of the bacteria are present at time \(t=0 .\) Then \(t\) minutes later, the number of bacteria present is $$ N(t)=3000(2)^{t / 20} $$ If \(100,000,000\) bacteria accumulate, a bladder infection can occur. If, at 11: 00 A.M., a patient's bladder contains \(25,000 E\) coli bacteria, at what time can infection occur?
