If x1 and x2 are two different inputs of a
function f, then f(x1) ≠ f(x2).

Returns the output x.
In other words, f—1 undoes the action of f
f—1(f(x)) = x for all x in the domain of f
f(f—1(x)) = x for all x in the domain of f—1

Answer:
Newton’s Law of Cooling
Temperature of a heated object decreases exponentially toward temperature of surrounding medium
Newton’s Law of CoolingThe temperature u of a heated object at a given time t can be modeled by
u(t) = T + (u0 — T)ekt, k < 0
where T is the constant temperature of the surrounding medium, u0 is the initial temperature of the heated object, and k is a negative constant.
Newton’s Law of Cooling
Example.
Problem: The temperature of a dead body that has been cooling in a room set at 70◦F is measured as 88◦F. One hour later, the body temperature is 87.5◦F. How long (to the nearest hour) before the first measurement was the time of death, assuming that body temperature at the time of death was 98.6◦F?
