Math Gym FALL 21 Problem Set 5.docx

The document outlines exercises for a math course, focusing on function compositions, difference quotients, and creating problems based on given functions. It includes a table of values for functions f and g, instructions for simplifying a difference quotient, and a task to design similar problems using consistent functions. Additionally, it features a concept map exercise and a challenge question related to the resistance of blood flow in vessels.

MAC 1105 MATH GYM FALL 2021 WEEK 5

1.​ Given the table of values, find the outputs of the given compositions for the given inputs.

X -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
f(x) 11 9 9 5 3 1 -1

2.​ Given 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 + 13𝑥 − 25
Find and simplify the difference quotient

Initial Evaluation: Write what you expect your final answer to look like:

6x+3h+13

Write down each step Explain why your step gets you closer to
an answer
Final Evaluation: Did your final answer match what you expected in your initial
evaluation?

3.​ Below are several problem types that you have seen involving composition of functions. For all
three problems (Problem Type 1, Problem Type 2, and Problem Type 3), the functions f and g are
different from problem to problem. Your task is to create a set of 3 problems similar to the ones
below but using the same f and g functions from problem to problem. I.e. the f function in your
Problem Type 1 should be the same function f in Problem Type 2 and 3. Likewise with the g
function. Note the f function that you select needs to be different from the g function.

Danger! Go back and read the instructions! You are not supposed to solve the problems below!!!! You
are supposed to design functions f and g (and the subsequent graphs and numbers) that would work
for all three problems. Note that each of your representations of the composition functions should
have the same output for a given input.
Problem Type 1

Problem Type 2
Problem Type 3
