Answer
Using the identity ( \cos^2 \theta = \frac{1 + \cos 2\theta}{2} ), we have:
∫cos23xdx=∫21+cos(6x)dx=21∫(1+cos(6x))dx
This simplifies to:
21(x+61sin(6x))+C=2x+121sin(6x)+C

Answer
The function ( f(x) = x^2 - 4x + 5 ) is a quadratic function that opens upwards. Its vertex is at ( (2, 1) ), and it does not cross the x-axis, which means it is always positive. This creates a situation where it is not one-to-one, as it fails the horizontal line test. Therefore, it does not have an inverse.
Step 3
Sketch the graph of the inverse function, \( g^{-1}(x) \), where \( g(x) = x^2 - 4x + 5, \, x \leq 2. \)

Answer
To sketch the inverse, reflect the graph of ( g(x) ) over the line ( y = x ). The inverse will have a restricted domain for ( x \leq 2 ). The inverse function will be a half parabola opening to the right.
Step 4
State the domain of \( g^{-1}(x) \).

Answer
The domain of ( g^{-1}(x) ) corresponds to the range of ( g(x) ). Since the minimum value of ( g(x) ) is 1 at ( x = 2 ) and it approaches infinity as ( x ) moves away from 2, the domain of ( g^{-1}(x) ) is ( [1, \infty) ).
Step 5
Find an expression for \( y = g^{-1}(x) \) in terms of \( x \).

Answer
Starting from ( g(x) = x^2 - 4x + 5 ), to find ( y = g^{-1}(x) ), we set ( y = x^2 - 4x + 5 ) and solve for ( x ):

Answer
Starting with the equation ( \frac{dT}{dt} = k(T - A) ), we substitute ( T = A + Be^{kt} ):
Differentiate ( T ) to get:
dtdT=kBekt.
Substitute into the original equation:
kBekt=k((A+Bekt)−A)=kBekt.
This verifies that our expression satisfies the equation.
Step 7
Determine the values of \( k \) and \( B \).

Answer
Using the initial conditions:
Substituting ( t = 0 ), we find:
T(0)=A+B=80.(1)
After 2 minutes, substituting ( t = 2 ):
T(2)=A+Be2k=50.(2)
From equations (1) and (2), we can solve for ( k ) and ( B ) using logarithmic transformations. Solving these equations simultaneously will yield the values of ( k ) and ( B ).
