1For f(x)=2x²−3 and x=4, evaluate f(x).
Answer: 29
Reasoning: Substitute x=4: 2(4)²−3=29.
2State the domain of g(x)=√(x−4).
Answer: [4,∞)
Reasoning: The radicand must be nonnegative: x−4≥0.
3Find the average rate of change of f(x)=x² from x=1 to x=4.
Answer: 5
Reasoning: [16−1]/[4−1]=15/3=5.
4Describe the transformation from y=x² to y=−2(x−3)²+1.
Answer: Right 3, reflect across x-axis, vertical stretch by 2, up 1
Reasoning: Read the form a(x−h)²+k.
5If f(x)=x+2 and g(x)=3x, find (f∘g)(4).
Answer: 14
Reasoning: g(4)=12 and f(12)=14.
6Find the inverse of f(x)=5x−7.
Answer: f⁻¹(x)=(x+7)/5
Reasoning: Swap x and y and solve for y.
