7. Question #6 What is the inverse of 𝑓 𝑥 = 3 4𝑥+1 ? 𝑓 −1 𝑥 = 3 4𝑦 − 1 4
𝑓 −1 𝑥 = 3 4𝑦 − 1 4
𝑓 −1 𝑥 = 3 4𝑥 − 1 4
𝑓 −1 𝑥 = 4𝑥+1 3
𝑓 −1 𝑥 = 1 4 − 3 4𝑥

8. Question #7
What is the average rate of change of 𝑓 𝑥 over the interval [−1,3]?
5 2 5 4
− 5 2

9. Question #8
Last year, a computer store sold 200 laptops at the price of $1,000 per laptop. The store manager is planning for the upcoming year. She creates the graph shown below of the projected revenue from the sales of laptop computers for next year depending on the price increase per laptop. What does the vertex of the parabola represent in terms of the context?
The minimum revenue from laptops will be $2,000 when the price per laptop is not increased.
The minimum revenue from laptops will be $200,000 when the price per laptop is not increased.
The maximum revenue of $225,000 occurs when the laptops are priced at $1,500.
The maximum revenue of $225,000 occurs when the laptops are priced at $500.

10. Question #9
Which graph illustrates the graphic representation for the daily sales of Wendy’s novel if the equation is 𝑠 =− 𝑥− ?

11. Question #10
What are the domain, range, relative maximum, and relative minimum for the function represented by the graph on the right?
Domain = all real numbers; range = all real numbers; relative max = 4; relative min = 0
Domain = -2 to 2; range = all real numbers; relative max = 4; relative min = 0
Domain = all real numbers; range = all real numbers; relative max = 1; relative min = -1
Domain = all real numbers; range = -2 to 2; relative max = infinity; relative min = negative infinity
