For the following function, a) determine whether it is one-to-one; b) if it is one-to-one, find its inverse function. \( f(x)=x+8 \) Is the given function a one-to-one function? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. Yes, the function is one-to-one. The inverse function is \( f^{-1}(x)= \) (Simplify your answer.) B. No, the the function is not one-to-one.

12.3 The equations \( x^{2}+a x+b=0 \) and \( x^{2}+b x+a=0 \) both have real and equal roots. Solve for \( a \) and \( b \), where \( a>0 \) and \( b>0 \).

If \( x-6=0 \) is one of the solutions of the equation \( x+\frac{40}{x}=16 \), determine ONE value of \( y \) for which \( 2 y+3+\frac{40}{2 y+3}=16 \)

If \( x-6=0 \) is one of the solutions df the equation \( x+\frac{40}{x}=16 \), determine ONE value of \( y \) for which \( 2 y+3+\frac{40}{2 y+3}=16 \)
