When calibrating a spring scale, you need to know how far the spring stretches based
on given weights. Hooke’s law states that the length a spring stretches is proportional to
the weight attached to the spring. A model for one scale is 𝑙 = 0.5𝑤 + 3 where 𝑙 is the
total length (in inches) of the spring and 𝑤 is the weight (in pounds) of the object.
292. Find the inverse model for the scale.
293. If you place a bag of fruit on the scale and the spring stretches to a total length
of 5.5 inches, how much does the bag of fruit weigh?

294. A train runs its route regularly between Baltimore, MD and Washington, D.C.
When traveling from Baltimore to Washington, D.C., its average speed is 60
miles per hour and takes a certain length of time, t, to travel. When traveling
from Washington, D.C., it travels at a slower speed and takes 15 minutes less
to arrive at Baltimore. Since the train is always traveling the same distance
each way, 𝑟1 𝑡1 = 𝑟2 𝑡2.
Part A:
Use the information provided to write a function 𝑓(𝑡) that allows you to
determine 𝑟2 , the speed of the train during its trip from Washington, D.C. to
Baltimore.

Part B:
Determine the inverse function, 𝑓 −1 (𝑡), to model the time required to travel from
Baltimore to Washington, D.C.

Applications of Inverses – Homework

To make an international call, your phone company charges $1.40 to make the
connection, and an additional $0.65 for every minute that you are on the line once
connected.
295. Write an equation for the price of an international call, 𝑝, in terms of the length
of the call in minutes, 𝑚.
296. Write an equation to determine 𝑚 in terms of 𝑝.
297. When you get the phone bill, you see your sister made a call that cost $8.55.
How long was she on the phone?

When calibrating a spring scale, you need to know how far the spring stretches based
on given weights. Hooke’s law states that the length a spring stretches is proportional to
the weight attached to the spring. A model for one scale is 𝑙 = 0.7𝑤 + 3.5 where 𝑙 is the
total length (in inches) of the spring and 𝑤 is the weight (in pounds) of the object.

298. Find the inverse model for the scale.

299. If you place a bag of fruit on the scale and the spring stretches to a total length
of 6.3 inches, how much does the bag of fruit weigh?

300. A train runs its route regularly between Philadelphia, PA and Trenton, NJ.
When traveling from Philadelphia to Trenton, its average speed is 55 miles per
hour and takes a certain length of time, t, to travel. When traveling from
Trenton to Philadelphia, it travels at a faster speed and takes 10 minutes less to
arrive at Philadelphia. Since the train is always traveling the same distance
each way, 𝑟1 𝑡1 = 𝑟2 𝑡2.
Part A:
Use the information provided to write a function 𝑓(𝑡) that allows you to
determine 𝑟2 , the speed of the train during its trip from Trenton to Philadelphia.

Part B:
Determine the inverse function, 𝑓 −1 (𝑡), to model the time required to travel from
Philadelphia to Trenton.
