The Kinetic energy of an object in Joules is ,
where represents speed of the object in meter per second.
represents mass of object in kilograms.
(a).
\The function is .
Function has an inverse
if and only if no horizontal line intersects its graph of the function in at most one point.
The domain of is
, since speed of the object is positive.
To find the inverse of the function, consider and solve
in terms of
.
Now interchange and
.
Replace .
.
The inverse of is
.
The inverse function represents speed of the object in
, where
represents energy of the object in joules.
represents mass of object in kilograms.
(b).
\Show that and
are inverse functions in the domain
.
if and
are inverse functions, then
.
.
, hence
and
are inverse functions.
Mass of the object is .
The function is .
The inverse function is
