You have a pumpkin of mass m and radius r. the pumpkin has the shape of a sphere, but it is not uniform inside so you do not know its moment of inertia. in order to determine the moment of inertia, you decide to roll the pumpkin down an incline that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. the pumpkin starts from rest and rolls without slipping. when it has descended a vertical height h, it has acquired a speed of v = √(5gh/4).

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 .
