Use Hooke's Law for springs, which states that the distance a spring is stretched (or compressed) varies directly as the force on the spring. An overhead garage door has two springs, one on each side of the door (see figure). A force of 15 pounds is required to stretch each spring 1 foot. Because of a pulley system, the springs stretch only one-half the distance the door travels. The door moves a total of 8 feet, and the springs are at their natural length when the door is open. Find the combined lifting force applied to the door by the springs when the door is closed.
Find a mathematical model for the verbal statement. \(y\) varies inversely as the square of \(x\)
Determine whether the function has an inverse function. If it does, find the inverse function. $$ f(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll} x+3, & x<0 \\ 6-x, & x \geq 0 \end{array}\right. $$
Determine whether the function has an inverse function. If it does, find the inverse function. $$ f(x)=3 x+5 $$
Your wage is \(\$ 10.00\) per hour plus \(\$ 0.75\) for each unit produced per hour. So, your hourly wage \(y\) in terms of the number of units produced \(x\) is \(y=10+0.75 x\) (a) Find the inverse function. What does each variable represent in the inverse function? (b) Determine the number of units produced when your hourly wage is \(\$ 24.25\).
