Problem 9
In Exercises 7-10, plot the points in the Cartesian plane. \( (3, 8) \), \( (0.5, -1) \), \( (5, -6) \), \( (-2, 2.5) \)
Problem 10
In Exercises 7-14, find the inverse function of \(f\) informally. Verify that \(f(f^{-1}(x)) = x\) and \(f^{-1}(f(x)) = x\). \(f(x) = x - 4\)
Problem 12
SPORTS The winning times (in minutes) in the women's 400-meter freestyle swimming event in the Olympics from 1948 through 2008 are given by the following ordered pairs. \((1948, 5.30)\) \((1952, 5.20)\) \((1956, 4.91)\) \((1960, 4.84)\) \((1964, 4.72)\) \((1968, 4.53)\) \((1972, 4.32)\) \((1976, 4.16)\) \((1980, 4.15)\) \((1984, 4.12)\) \((1988, 4.06)\) \((1992, 4.12)\) \((1996, 4.12)\) \((2000, 4.10)\) \((2004, 4.09)\) \((2008, 4.05)\) A linear model that approximates the data is \(y = -0.020t + 5.00\), where \(y\) represents the winning time (in minutes) and \(t=0\) represents 1950. Plot the actual data and the model on the same set of coordinate axes. How closely does the model represent the data? Does it appear that another type of model may be a better fit? Explain.
