This document contains 25 problems involving functions and their operations. The problems involve finding composite functions, inverses of functions, determining if functions are one-to-one, evaluating functions, and finding inverse functions. Many of the problems relate US women's shoe sizes to corresponding European shoe sizes using a function g.
