7. (15 pt) Mr. Burns is found dead in his mansion at 10 pm. His body temperature is measured and found to be 86° F. It is known that Chief Wiggam was at the mansion from 2-4pm, Mayor Quimby was there from 4pm-5pm, and Krusty the Clown was there from 5pm-6:30pm. If it took 15 minutes for Mr. Burns’ body temperature to drop 1° F from normal after he was killed and the mansion is kept at 80° F, who killed Mr. Burns?

 

8. (10 pt) Use inverse functions to show that.
