The acceleration of a rocket fired vertically upwards t seconds after launch is 40+4 m−2 (as a rocket burns fuel it becomes lighter, so accelerates more quickly). What is the second order differential equation for the height of the rocket. ℎ′′=

1 the 4 is sig

f=ma newton

f=100x2.5=250n

we have been given a quadratic function and we need to restrict the domain such that it becomes a one to one function.

we know that vertex of this quadratic function occurs at (5,2).

further, we know that range of this function is .

if we restrict the domain of this function to either or , it will become one to one function.

let us know find its inverse.

upon interchanging x and y, we get:

let us now solve this function for y.

hence, the inverse function would be if we restrict the domain of original function to and the inverse function would be if we restrict the domain to .
