As with finding inverses of quadratic functions, it is sometimes desirable to find the
inverse of a rational function , particularly of rational functions that are the ratio of linear functions, such as in concentration applications.
Finding the inverse of a rational function
The function
represents the concentration
of an acid solution after
mL of 40% solution has been added to 100 mL of a 20% solution. First, find the inverse of the function; that is, find an expression for
in terms of
Then use your result to determine how much of the 40% solution should be added so that the final mixture is a 35% solution.
We first want the inverse of the function. We will solve for
in terms of
Now evaluate this function for
We can conclude that 300 mL of the 40% solution should be added.
if three forces F1.f2 .f3 act at a point on a Cartesian plane in the daigram .....so if the question says write down the x and y components ..... I really don't understand
a fixed gas of a mass is held at standard pressure temperature of 15 degrees Celsius .Calculate the temperature of the gas in Celsius if the pressure is changed to 2×10 to the power 4
