MTH 101

The document solves two sided inequalities and finds the domain of functions. It shows: 1) Solving the inequality 7 < 1-2x ≤ 10 by subtracting 1 from both sides and dividing by -2, resulting in the solution -3 > x ≥ -5. 2) Finding the function fog(x) = (9/x^2) - 3/x - 1 by substituting f(g(x)) where f(x) = x^2 - x - 1 and g(x) = 3/x. 3) Simplifying and taking the limit of (x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x) / (x^2

Solve the two sided inequality and show the solution on real line

7 < 1-2x ≤ 10
Step 1: subtract 1 from both sides and we get
6<-2x<9
Step2: divide by -2 on both sides and we get
-3>x>-5
(note: symbols are reversed with a negative operation)
So x can have a value between -3 and or equal to -5
--|---|-----|-----|----|---0--------------------------------
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1

Question 2; Marks: 10

Given two functions as:


3
f(x) = x 2 − x − 1 and g(x) =
x
Find fog(x) also find the domain of f, g and fog
Solution:
Fog(x)=f(g(x))
fog(x)=(g(x))2-(g(x))-1
fog(x)=(3/x)2-(3/x)-1
fog(x)=(9/x2)-3/x-1
fog(x)= -(x2-3x+9)/x2
(note: domain and ranges are to be found out yourselves, listen to lecture No. 6 for this)

Question 3; Marks:10
Simplify, then apply the rules of limit to evaluate
x3 − 5 x2 + 6 x
lim x→3
x2 − 9
Solution:
Lim(x->3) x(x2-5x+6) / x2-32
Lim(x->3) x(x2-3x-2x+6) / (x-3)(x+3)
Lim(x->3) x(x(x-3)-2(x-3)) / (x-3)(x+3)
Lim(x->3) x((x-3)(x-2)) / (x-3)(x+3)
Lim(x->3) x(x-2) /(x+3)
Now applying limits lim x->3
=3(3-2)/3+3
=3(1)/6
=3/6
=½
