Problems Involving Inverse Functions

This lesson plan teaches students about inverse functions through group activities and examples. Students will solve problems to find angles of elevation of a camera based on a balloon's height. They will also use inverse functions to find radii of right circular cones given their volumes. To evaluate understanding, students will use inverse functions to solve population problems where population increases exponentially over time. The lesson aims to help students meet the objective of solving problems involving inverse functions.

B. Developmental Activities
Activity: (Group Activity)
Use inverse functions to find the angle of elevation of a camera. 
A camera is to take a series of photographs of a hot air balloon rising vertically. The distance
between the camera at (B) and the launching point of the balloon (A) is 300 meters. The
camera must keep the balloon on sight and therefore its angle of elevation t must change
with the height x of the balloon. 

a) Find angle t as a function of the height x. 


b) Find angle t in degrees when x is equal to 150, 300 and 600 meters. (approximate your
answer to 1 decimal place). 
c) Graph t as a function of x.
Analysis:
1. How did you find your activity? Did you enjoy?
2. How did you arrive on your answer?
3. What are the steps in finding the angle at a certain distances?
4. How about the graph?

Abstraction:
a). The opposite and the adjacent sides to angle t are x and 300 meters respectively, hence. 
tan(t) = x / 300 
We now use the property of the tangent function and its inverse. 
tan -1(tan(x)) = x 
To rewrite the equation tan(t) = x / 300 as follows. 
tan -1(tan(t)) = tan -1( x / 300 ) 
Simplify the left side of the above equation to obtain. 
t = tan -1( x / 300 ) 
b) The values of t at 150, 300 and 600 are found using a calculator.
t(150) = 25.6 degrees (approximated to 1 decimal place) 
t(300) = 45.0 degrees 
t(600) = 63.4 degrees (approximated to 1 decimal place)
c) We use the values of t in part (b) and extra points and graph t as a function of x. 

X t
0 0
150 25.6
300 45.0
600 63.4
1200 76.0

Application: (Think-pair-share)
Use inverse functions to find radius of right circular cone. 
Five right circular cones, with the same height h = 50 cm, are to be constructed. The
volumes of these cones are to be 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200 cm 3. Find the radius of the
base of each cone.
Note: The formula of the volume V of a right circular cone with height h and radius r is given
by. V = (1/3) pi r2 h 

IV. EVALUATION
Use inverse functions to solve population problems. 
The population of a certain city increase according to the following formula 
P = 200,000 e 0.01 t
where P is the population and t the number of years, with t = 0 corresponding to the year 2000. 
When will the population be 300,000, 400,000 and 500,000?

V. ASSIGNMENT
Solve in advance some real-life problems in the book (Pages 48-50)
