  2. OPEN ENDED Write a set of ordered pairs for functions f and g, given that f ∘ g = {(4, 3), (-1, 9), (-2, 7)}.
  3. Writing in Math Use the information about medication on page 382 to explain how the roots of an equation can be used in pharmacology. Include an explanation of what the roots of this equation represent and an explanation of what the roots of this equation reveal about how often a patient should take this medication.
  4. Writing in Math Refer to the information on page 411 to explain how inverse functions can be used in measurement conversions. Point out why it might be helpful to know the customary units if you are given metric units. Demonstrate how to convert the speed of light c = 3.0 × 108 meters per second to miles per hour.

Plug Love 20... 382 - 383 / 1100 Roots and Zeros GET READY for the Lesson When doctors prescribe medication, they give patients instructions as to how much to take and how often it should be taken. The amount of medication in your body varies with time. Suppose the equation M(t) = 0.514 + 3.543 - 10012 + 350+ models the number of milligrams of a certain medication in the bloodstream t hours after it has been taken. The doctor can use the roots of this equation to determine how often the patient should take the medication to maintain a certain concentration in the body. Types of Roots You have already learned that a zero of a function f(x) is any value c such that f(c) = 0. When the function is graphed, the real zeros of the function are the x-intercepts of the graph. KEY CONCEPT Zeros, Factors, and Roots Let f(x) = 4, *" + ... + ax + a, be a polynomial function. Then the following statements are equivalent. • c is a zero of the polynomial function f(x). • x- cis a factor of the polynomial f(x). c is a root or solution of the polynomial equation f(x) = 0. In addition, if c is a real number, then (c, 0) is an intercept of the graph of f(x). The graph of f(x) = x4 - 5x2 + 4 is shown at the right. The zeros of the function are -2,-1, 1, and 2. The factors of the polynomial are x + 2, x + 1, TI AUG 15,282 23 and mento 109 GET READY for the Lesson Most scientific formulas involve measurements given in SI (International System) units. The SI units for speed are meters per second. However, the United States uses customary measurements such as miles per hour. To convert x miles per hour to an approximate equivalent in meters per second, you can evaluate the following. x miles 1600 meters 1 hour fx) = 1 hour 1 mile To convert x meters per second to an approximate equivalent in miles per hour, you can evaluate the following. 8(x) = 4 meters. 3600 seconds 1 mile 1 second 1 hour or g(x) = Notice that f(x) multiplies a number by 4 and divides it by 9. The function g(x) does the inverse operation of f(x). It divides a number by 4 and multiplies it by 9. These functions are inverses. 3600 seconds or f(x) = * 1600 meters Find Inverses Recall that a relation is a set of ordered pairs. The inverse relation is the set of ordered pairs obtained by reversing the coordinates of each ordered pair. The domain of a relation becomes the range of the inverse, and the range of a relation becomes the domain of the inverse. KEY CONCEPT Inverse Relations Words Two relations are inverse relations if and only if whenever one relation contains the element (a, b), the other relation contains the element (b, a). Examples Q = {(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)] S = {(2, 1), (4, 3), (6,5)] Q and S are inverse relations. EXAMPLE Find an Inverse Relation GEOMETRY The ordered pairs of the relation {(2, 1), (5, 1), (2, -4)} are the coordinates of the vertices of a right triangle. Find the inverse of this relation and determine whether the resulting ordered pairs are also the vertices of a right triangle. To find the inverse of this relation, reverse the coordinates of the ordered pairs. (continuerl' on the next page) A W P

1) An example of an equation that is not quadratic but can be written in quadratic
form:
𝑦 = 𝑥 4 − 5𝑥 2 + 6
The equation in quadratic form:
𝑦 = (𝑥 2 )2 − 5(𝑥 2 ) + 6 = 𝑧 2 − 5𝑧 + 6 Where: 𝑧 = 𝑥 2

2) A set of ordered pairs for functions f and g, given that f ∘ g = {(4, 3), (-1, 9), (-2, 7)}:
f = {(5,3), (9,9), (−3,7)}
g = {(4,5), (−1,9), (−2, −3)}
3) To explain how the roots of an equation can be used in pharmacology:
From page 382. It is obvious that doctors use the given equation of the
concentration of medication in body as a function of time, to guarantee that there is
enough concentration in body for various times.
An explanation of what the roots of this equation represent:
The roots of the equation represent the time after which, the num...
