The statement basically says the equation, so all that is needed is interpretation. First, look at the "three times". If the height is just three times the radius, it will look like 3r = h, because if any number is put into r, then h will be three times larger. Then it says "5 units less", which can be put as r - 5 = h with the same logic as the previous explanation. Combining those two gives us, lo and behold, 3r - 5 = h.
(d) The functions are not inverses because for each ordered pair (x, y) for one function, there is no corresponding ordered pair (y, x) for the other function.
Step-by-step explanation:
If functions are represented by a table of ordered pairs, their inverse function is the set of ordered pairs with the x- and y-values swapped.
Here, for (x, y) = (0.75, 1038.18), the pair from the other table that begins to correspond is (y, x) = (0.75, 1057.81). These reversed pairs are not the same, so the functions are not inverses of each other.

<em>Comment on the tables</em>
Table A is for a 5-year investment; table B is for a 7.5 year investment. They cannot be inverses of each other.
