Part C: Level 3
8. a. Given f ( x ) = x 2 + 10 x + 18 , find the equation of the inverse, f -1(x).
c. Restrict the domain of f(x) to make f -1(x) a function if it is not. If it is a function, state
the domain.
9. Can a transformation of a function appear to have no effect on a graph after it has been
transformed? If so, give three distinct examples of any such function and transformation. If
not, explain why not thoroughly.
10. A square piece of cardboard with side length 40 cm is used to create an open topped box
by cutting out squares with side length x from each corner.

11. In the Ontario Games trials, the Ottawa Kayak team paddled the 16 km race (upstream and
down stream) in 4 hours, despite a river current of 3 km/h. Find the team’s rowing speed
in still water and the time it takes in both directions.
