Determine whether the function has an inverse function. If it does, find the inverse function. $$ f(x)=\sqrt{x-2} $$
Use the given value of \(k\) to complete the table for the direct variation model $$y=k x^{2}$$ Plot the points on a rectangular coordinate system. $$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline x & 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 & 10 \\ \hline y=k x^{2} & & & & & \\ \hline \end{array}$$ $$ k=2 $$
The lengths (in feet) of the winning men's discus throws in the Olympics from 1920 through 2008 are listed below. (Source: International Olympic Committee) $$\begin{array}{llllll} 1920 & 146.6 & 1956 & 184.9 & 1984 & 218.5 \\ 1924 & 151.3 & 1960 & 194.2 & 1988 & 225.8 \\ 1928 & 155.3 & 1964 & 200.1 & 1992 & 213.7 \\ 1932 & 162.3 & 1968 & 212.5 & 1996 & 227.7 \\ 1936 & 165.6 & 1972 & 211.3 & 2000 & 227.3 \\ 1948 & 173.2 & 1976 & 221.5 & 2004 & 229.3 \\ 1952 & 180.5 & 1980 & 218.7 & 2008 & 225.8 \end{array}$$ (a) Sketch a scatter plot of the data. Let \(y\) represent the length of the winning discus throw (in feet) and let \(t=20\) represent 1920 (b) Use a straightedge to sketch the best-fitting line through the points and find an equation of the line. (c) Use the regression feature of a graphing utility to find the least squares regression line that fits the data. (d) Compare the linear model you found in part (b) with the linear model given by the graphing utility in part (c). (e) Use the models from parts (b) and (c) to estimate the winning men's discus throw in the year 2012 .
The total numbers of people (in thousands) in the U.S. civilian labor force from 1992 through 2007 are given by the following ordered pairs. $$\begin{array}{ll} (1992,128,105) & (2000,142,583) \\ (1993,129,200) & (2001,143,734) \\ (1994,131,056) & (2002,144,863) \\ (1995,132,304) & (2003,146,510) \\ (1996,133,943) & (2004,147,401) \\ (1997,136,297) & (2005,149,320) \\ (1998,137,673) & (2006,151,428) \\ (1999,139,368) & (2007,153,124) \end{array}$$ A linear model that approximates the data is \(y=1695.9 t+124,320,\) where \(y\) represents the number of employees (in thousands) and \(t=2\) represents 1992 . Plot the actual data and the model on the same set of coordinate axes. How closely does the model represent the data? (Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)
Determine if the situation could be represented by a one-to-one function. If so, write a statement that describes the inverse function. The population \(p\) of South Carolina in terms of the year \(t\) from 1960 through 2008
