Real-world applications

To convert from $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ degrees Celsius to $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ degrees Fahrenheit, we use the formula $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(x\right)=\frac{9}{5}x+32.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ Find the inverse function, if it exists, and explain its meaning.

${f}^{-1}\left(x\right)=\frac{5}{9}\left(x-32\right).\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ Given the Fahrenheit temperature, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ this formula allows you to calculate the Celsius temperature.

The circumference $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}C\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ of a circle is a function of its radius given by $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}C\left(r\right)=2\pi r.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ Express the radius of a circle as a function of its circumference. Call this function $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}r\left(C\right).\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ Find $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}r\left(36\pi \right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and interpret its meaning.

A car travels at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour. The distance the car travels in miles is a function of time, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}t,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ in hours given by $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}d\left(t\right)=50t.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ Find the inverse function by expressing the time of travel in terms of the distance traveled. Call this function $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}t\left(d\right).\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ Find $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}t\left(180\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and interpret its meaning.

$t\left(d\right)=\frac{d}{50},\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ $t\left(180\right)=\frac{180}{50}.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ The time for the car to travel 180 miles is 3.6 hours.

Functions and Function Notation

For the following exercises, determine whether the relation is a function.

$\left\{\left(a,b\right),\left(c,d\right),\left(e,d\right)\right\}$

function

$\left\{\left(5,2\right),\left(6,1\right),\left(6,2\right),\left(4,8\right)\right\}$

${y}^{2}+4=x,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ for $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ the independent variable and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ the dependent variable

not a function

Is the graph in [link] a function?

For the following exercises, evaluate the function at the indicated values: $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(-3\right);\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(2\right);\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(-a\right);\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}-f\left(a\right);\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(a+h\right).$

$f\left(x\right)=-2{x}^{2}+3x$

$f\left(-3\right)=-27;$ $f\left(2\right)=-2;$ $f\left(-a\right)=-2{a}^{2}-3a;$
$-f\left(a\right)=2{a}^{2}-3a;$ $f\left(a+h\right)=-2{a}^{2}+3a-4ah+3h-2{h}^{2}$

$f\left(x\right)=2|3x-1|$

For the following exercises, determine whether the functions are one-to-one.

anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?

what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.

carbon nanotubes has various application in fuel cells membrane, current research on cancer drug,and in electronics MEMS and NEMS etc
NANO
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
Harper
Do you know which machine is used to that process?
