(1) [Marks: 4] Express f (x) =
∣∣∣ ∣^23 xx^ −+ 2^4
∣∣∣ ∣ as a piecewise function.
(3) [Marks: 9] Below are the graphs of two functions f (x) and g(x). The domain of f (x) is [1, ∞) and the range of f (x) is [− 1 , ∞). The domain of g(x) is (−∞, ∞) and the range of g(x) is [0, ∞).
f(x)
g(x)
(a) Using these graphs, determine (approximately) the value of ( f ◦ g) (0) and ( g ◦ f ) (4). Explain your reasoning by referring to the graphs.
(b) Determine an (approximate) x for which ( f ◦ g) (x) = − 1 /2. Explain your reasoning by referring to the graphs.
(b) Determine the domain and range of f ◦ g.
(4) [Marks: 10] (a) Prove that h(x) = (^1) −|^3 x 2 |x 2 is not one-to-one.
(c) Find f −^1 (x).
(d) Verify that ( f −^1 ◦ f ) (x) = x.
(6) [Marks: 9] Sketch the graph of R(x) = −^4 x^23 −x + 2^8 x^ + 12. Find all intercepts, asymptotes, and determine how the graph approaches the asymptotes.
(7) [Marks: 4] Given that 2 is a root of p(x) = x^4 − 5 x^3 + 7x^2 + 3x − 10, find the complete factorization of p(x).
