Each of Exercises 25–36 gives a formula for a function y=f(x). In each case, find f^(-1)(x) and identify the domain and range of f^(-1). As a check, show that f(f^(-1)(x))=f^(-1)(f(x))=x.


f(x) = x³ + 1

Rewrite the expressions in Exercises 5–10 in terms of exponentials and simplify the results as much as you can.

9. (sinh(x)+cosh(x))⁴

130. Where does the periodic function f(x) = 2e^(sin(x/2)) take on its extreme values, and what are these values?

25. First-order chemical reactions In some chemical reactions, the rate at which the amount of a substance changes with time is proportional to the amount present. For the change of δ-gluconolactone into gluconic acid, for example,

dy/dt = -0.6y

when t is measured in hours. If there are 100 grams of δ-gluconolactone present when t=0, how many grams will be left after the first hour?

In Exercises 59–86, find the derivative of y with respect to the given independent variable.

61. y = 5√s

Verify the integration formulas in Exercises 37–40.

39. ∫x coth⁻¹(x)dx = ((x²-1)/2)coth⁻¹(x) + x/2 + C

Evaluate the integrals in Exercises 53–76.

57. ∫dx/(x√(25x²-2))
