[T] The velocity V (in centimeters per second) of blood in an artery at a distance x cm from the center of the artery can be modeled by the function V = f ( x ) = 500(0.04 − x 2 ) for 0≤ x ≤0.2. a. Find x = f −1 ( V ). b. Interpret what the inverse function is used for. c. Find the distance from the center of an artery with a velocity of 15 cm/sec, 10 cm/sec, and 5 cm/sec. 218. A function that converts dress sizes in the United States to those in Europe is given by D ( x ) =2 x +24. a. Find the European dress sizes that correspond to sizes 6, 8, 10, and 12 in the United States. b. Find the function that converts European dress sizes to U.S. dress sizes. c. Use part b. to find the dress sizes in the United States that correspond to 46, 52, 62, and 70. 219. [T] The cost to remove a toxin from a lake is modeled by the function C ( p ) =75 p /(85− p ), where C is the cost (in thousands of dollars) and p is the amount of toxin in a small lake (measured in parts per billion [ppb]). This model is valid only when the amount of toxin is less than 85 ppb. a. Find the cost to remove 25 ppb, 40 ppb, and 50 ppb of the toxin from the lake. b. Find the inverse function. c. Use part b. to determine how much of the toxin is removed for $50,000. 220. [T] A race car is accelerating at a velocity given by v ( t ) = 25 4 t +54, where v is the velocity (in feet per second) at time t . a. Find the velocity of the car at 10 sec. b. Find the inverse function. c. Use part b. to determine how long it takes for the car to reach a speed of 150 ft/sec.

223. [T] The average temperature (in degrees Celsius) of a city in the northern United States can be modeled by the function T ( x ) =5+18sin ⎡ ⎣ π 6 ( x −4.6) ⎤ ⎦ , where x is time in months and x =1.00 corresponds to January 1. Determine the month and day when the average temperature is 21°C. 224. [T] The depth (in feet) of water at a dock changes with the rise and fall of tides. It is modeled by the function D ( t ) =5sin ⎛ ⎝ π 6 t − 7 π 6 ⎞ ⎠ +8, where t is the number of hours after midnight. Determine the first time after midnight when the depth is 11.75 ft. 225. [T] An object moving in simple harmonic motion is modeled by the function s ( t ) =−6cos ⎛ ⎝ πt 2 ⎞ ⎠ , where s is measured in inches and t is measured in seconds. Determine the first time when the distance moved is 4.5 in.
