f(x)=x23x+2=(x2)(x1)f ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } - 3 x + 2 = ( x - 2 ) ( x - 1 ) , so f(2)=0=f(1)f ( 2 ) = 0 = f ( 1 ) , so ff is not one-to-one.

There is no value of xx that makes the denominator 00 , thus the domain is all real numbers (,)( - \infty , \infty ) . 

A man is running around a circular track that is 200 m in circumference. An observer uses a stopwatch to record the runner's time at the end of each lap, obtaining the data in the following table. What was the man's average speed (rate) between 68 s and 203 s? Round the answer to two decimal places. Time (s) Distance () 32 200 68 400 108 600 152 800 203 1000 263 1200 335 1400 412 1600
