15) Prove that if an odd function f(x) is one-to-one, the inverse function g(y) is also odd.
Answer: If y = (-x), then - x = f(y), so x = -f(y) = f(-y) since f is odd.
Thus - y = (x), and so (-x) = y = - (x). Thus, is odd.

6) A dish with a temperature of 54°C is placed in a fridge, which has a constant temperature of
6°C.
If the dish cools to 30°C in a half hour, what is its temperature after another half hour?
Assume Newton's Law of Cooling.
Answer: Let y = y(t) be the temperature of the dish (in degrees Celsius) at time t (in hours since
the dish was placed in the fridge).
Thus y(0) = 54 and y( ) = 30.

Therefore, by Newton's Law of Cooling, = k(y - m), where m is the temperature of the fridge

and k is a constant. Here m = 6, hence = k(y -6). Now let u = u(t) = y -6 and noting that =

, we obtain the simple equation = ku. By inspection u = , for some constant A.

Recall u = y -6, hence y -6 = or y = + 6.


There remains to find the constants A and k. Applying y(0) = 54 , we obtain 54 = A + 6,
which implies 54 = A + 6, or A =54 - 6 = 48.
It follows that y = 48 + 6 ........................... (*)
Next, applying y( ) = 30, we obtain

30 = 48 + 6, so 30 - 6 = 48 , or =

Note: Instead of solving for k, we apply the following powerful trick:


= ⇒ = ⇒ =

Substituting into (*) we obtain y(t) = 48 + 6

To find the temperature of the dish after another half hour we put t = + = 1 above.

We obtain y(1) = 48 +6= +6 = 12 + 6 = 18°C.

8) Solve for x: tanh(x) = .

Answer: By definition, tanh(x) = . Therefore, we need to solve the equation

= .

For simplicity, let = t, hence, = . Thus the equation reduces to

= . It follows that 25 = 24 .

Expanding, we obtain: 25t - = 24t + , or t =

Therefore, = 49, which implies t = + 7 ( since t = >0)


Now t = 7 ⇒ = 7, hence, x = ln(7).
