Adolf and Ed are wearing harnesses and are hanging at rest from the ceiling by means of ropes attached to them. Face to face, they push off against one another. Adolf has a mass of 120 kg, and Ed has a mass of 87 kg. Following the push, Adolf swings upward to a height of 0.77 m above his starting point. To what height above his own starting point does Ed rise?

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 .

you get 2.3=1.21*\frac{a}2 or 4.6=1.21a or a=3.802 (b)
