This is an arithmetic progression:
u1 40 and common difference, d = 5
10th lesson - [40 + 9(5)] minutes
= 85 minutes
The duration of Adrians 10th lesson is 85 minutes.

7(ii) Since any horizontal line y k , where k 2 , intersects the graph of f at one
and only one point, f is a one-one function. Hence its inverse function f 1 exists.
