Accepted Answer

$$f^{-1}(x$$) = \frac{x - 7}{3}$$

Question 9

Accepted Answer

$$m = 2$$

Question 12

Which of the following is the correct solution to the inequality $$x^2 - 5x + 6$$ \u003c 0$$?

Accepted Answer

$$2 \u003c x \u003c 3$$

Question 13

A population of bacteria grows according to $$P(t) = 200e$$^{0.3t}$$, where t$ is in hours. What is the population after 4 hours?

Accepted Answer

$$P(4) = 200e$$^{1.2}$$ \approx 664$$
