We are asked to determine if the function `y=100e^(-2x) ` has an inverse function by finding if the function is strictly monotonic on its entire domain using the derivative. The domain is all real numbers.


` y'=-200e^(-2x) ` and y'<0 for all real x so the function is strictly monotonic (in this case strictly decreasing) and therefore has an inverse function.


The graph:

Buck feels a strong connection with Thornton, his final master, and is deeply devoted to him. This is new for Buck: toward his previous mast...
