Question 424

A biologist models the concentration ratio, RRR, of two specific enzymes in a cell culture over time ttt (in hours) using the function

R(t)=8t2+6t−54t2+5t+6+16t+2,t∈R, t>1 R(t) = \frac{8t^2 + 6t - 54}{t^2 + 5t + 6} + \frac{16}{t + 2}, \quad t \in \mathbb{R}, \ t > 1 R(t)=t2+5t+68t2+6t−54​+t+216​,t∈R, t>1
a.

Show that R(t)=8t−2t+2R(t) = \frac{8t - 2}{t + 2}R(t)=t+28t−2​.

[3]
b.

Show, using calculus, that RRR is an increasing function. You must make your reasoning clear.

[3]
c.

The function hhh is defined by

h(x)=1+ln⁡x,x≥1 h(x) = 1 + \ln x, \quad x \ge 1 h(x)=1+lnx,x≥1

Find h−1(x)h^{-1}(x)h−1(x), stating its domain.
