Problem 1. Find the domain of the following function. f ( x )= 2
x + 4 x−5
(5 points).

solution
¿ find the domain
2
x + 4 x−5 ≠ 0
Solving for x , we find

(X +1)(x−5)≠ 0

Hence

(x +1)≠ 0 which means x ≠−1

¿ x−5 ≠ 0 implies that x ≠ 5

Hence the domain−1 ≤ x ≤ 5

Problem 2. Sketch a graph of the following function by making a table of values.

f ( x )= ( x −2 ) (5 points).

Expanding we get x 2 – 4x + 4

Problem 3. Sketch a graph of the following function by making a table of values. g ( x )=−√ x
(5 points).

Solution

Problem 4. Determine if the following graph represents a function. Then, give the domain
and range.

(5 points).

The graph represents a function because any possible vertical line drawn only intersect the

curve at one point. This proves that it’s a function.

The domain is represented by the range of value of x that are between -1 and 3.

The range is represented by the values of y which are between 0 and 4

Problem 5. Determine if the following graph represents a function. Then, give the domain

and range.
MATHS QUIZ SOLUTION 5

(5 points).

The graph does not represent a function. This is because a line draw through point x -1 touches

two points of the curve. This disqualifies it from being a function. However, we are in a position

to extract the domain as the values between x= -4 and x= 2.

The range is between values of y which are between y =-1 and y= 4

Problem 6. Determine whether the following equation defines y as a function of x .


4 x+7 y=−3 (5 points).

Solution

Expressing y∈terms of x we get 7 y=−3−4 x

−3 4 x
Y= −
7 7

This indicate that any input in the value of x gives a unique value of y hence therefore y is a

function of x

Problem 7. Determine whether the following equation defines y as a function of x .

√ x−1= y (5 points).

Solution

¿ this case , if we pick x ¿ be 5 thenwe get two values of y as−2∧+2. This indicatesthat y isnot a function of x since o

therefore , √ x−1= y , does not define y as a function of x ,because some value( s)of x have more than one y

Problem 8. Henry is trying to plant enough trees along his property line to block view of a
highway that is being built. Henry can afford to buy and plant 3 trees per month, and he
already has 2 trees planted along the property line.
a) Write a function T representing the total number of trees he will have along his
property line after n months.
(2 points).
MATHS QUIZ SOLUTION 6

Solution

T =2+3 n

b) Graph T. (2 points).

c) How many months will it take him to have 14 trees along his property line?
(1 point).

Solution
T =2+3 N
MATHS QUIZ SOLUTION 7

Replacing T with 14 ,
14=2+3 N
12=3 n
n=4 months

Problem 9. Let f ( x )=2 x−1 and g ( x )=x 2−3 x . Perform the following operation.

(f + g)(−2)
(5 points).

solution
( f +g ) ( x ) =x2 −x−1
substituting x with−2
( f +g ) (−2 )=x 2−x−1= (−2 )2−(−2 )−1=5

Problem 10. Let f ( x )=2 x−1 and g ( x )=x 2−3 x . Perform the following composition. Give
