Sample Problem:
You are buying imported books from the USA. As a result, you need to mail the payment.
Recently the exchange rate was $1 to P44.
a. Complete the table by converting US dollar into pesos.
$ 1 5 10 50 100
b. State the procedure you performed on the number of US dollars to obtain the number
of pesos.
c. Let p represent the number of Philippine pesos and d represent the number of US
dollars. Write an equation for the function that has the number of US dollars as input
and the number of Philippine pesos as output.
d. Write an equation that converts pesos into dollars using the equation in c.
Solution:
a.
1 5 10 50 100
$
44 220 440 2200 4400
P
b. To get the number of pesos when the given the number of dollars, multiply the number
by P44.
c. p = 44d
To find the inverse of a relation given by an equation in x and y, switch the roles of x and y in
the equation.
3. Activities:
Problem Solving
1. The equation used to convert from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit is f(x) = 9x/5 +
32. Determine the inverse function f-1 (x). What does the inverse function represent?
2. The Richmond rowing club is planning to enter the Head of the Charles race in Boston
and is trying to figure out how much money to raise. The entry fee is $250 per boat for
the first 10 boats and $175 for each additional boat. Find the cost function C(x) as a
function of the number of boats the club enters x. Find the inverse function that will
yield how many boats the club can enter as function of how much money it will raise.
Application
By analyzing available empirical data it was determined that during an illness a patient’s body
temperature fluctuated during one 24-hour period according to the function
Where T represents that patient’s temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and t represents the time
of day in hours measured from 12:00 am (midnight)
a. Find time as a function of temperature, that is, the inverse function t(T).
b. At what time, to the nearest hour, was the patient’s temperature 99.5F?
Evaluation
1. A student works at Target making $10 per hour and the weekly number of hours worked per
week x varies. If Target withholds 25% of his earning for taxes and Social Security write a
function E(x) that expresses the student’s take-home pay each week. Find the inverse
function E -1 (x). What does the inverse function tell you?
2. The equation used to convert from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius is C(x) = 5/9(x – 32).
Determine the inverse function C -1 (x). What does the inverse function represent?
Assignment
1. A phone company charges $.39 per minute for the first 10 minutes of a long-distance phone
call and $.12 per minute every minute after that. Find the cost function C(x) as a function of
the length of the phone call in minutes x. Suppose you buy a “prepaid phone card that is
planned for a single call. Find the inverse function that determines how many minutes you
can talk as a function of how much you prepaid.
2. A grocery store pays you $8 per hour for the first 40 hours per week and time and a half for
overtime. Write a piecewise-defined function that represents your weekly earnings E(x) as a
function of the number of hours worked x. Find inverse function E-1 (x). What does the inverse
function tell you?
