 2. 

a) Determine the inverse graph of the function f(x) = 3x + 2 in two ways:
i) Determine 5 points on the line, switch their x-coordinates and y-coordinates, and graph the new set of points, connecting these new points with a straight line.
ii) Algebraically determine the inverse of the function and graph this function.
b) How do your answers in part a) compare?
 

Problem
 

 1. 

Two skydivers jump out of a plane. The first skydiver’s motion can be modelled by the function pr001-1.jpg. The second skydiver jumps 10 s later with a goal of catching up to the first skydiver. The motion of the second skydiver can be modelled by pr001-2.jpg. For both functions, the height is measured in metres and the time is the number of seconds after the second skydiver jumps.
a) Graph the functions on the same set of axes.
b) Will the second skydiver catch up to the first before they have to open their parachutes at 800 m?
c) State the domain and range of these functions in this context.
 

 2. 

In ballistics, the paths of projectiles are studied. It is known that the greater the speed at which an object is fired, the farther it will travel. For a particular spring-loaded cannon, this relationship can be modelled by pr002-1.jpg, where d is the distance, in metres, travelled by the projectile and v is the muzzle speed, in metres per second.
a) Graph the distance function and state its domain and range.
b) Graph the inverse of the distance function. What does it represent? State its domain and range.
 

 3. 

Given the function pr003-1.jpg,
a) determine the inverse of the function
b) graph the function and its inverse on the same set of axes
